Good in flight shots, though they look a touch noisy. Don't ask me how to fix that as I haven't a clue, as I need some lessons as well.

Thanks for the comments ... Think I had the ISO pretty high that day ... and walked up on the Hawk ... didn't seem him until he started to fly ... and then just locked on and fired a burst. Very little cropping ... he flew right in front of me.

Thanks again for the replies ... feel like I am completly starting over on the birds ... different settings for the birds and trying to learn the ... uhhhh ... software (which seems to hate me ) that I have .... isn't as much fun as the actual shooting.
