The sharp, clear images with bright blue against the grey background makes it like it's out of a computer game, or shot in the studio :P

It's nice :)

and interesting how there's the bird in the first one! makes it seem higher! scarey :)

great :)

Great series Big V,

Well done.

Nice work Big V, sharp and clear. Did you get a shot of this guy landing ? All well and good to see him in the air, but if he didn't stick the landing.. :)

Great action shots

Big V, they are great action shots, and so sharp. Any change of sharing with us, amateurs, a few details like which lens did you use or if you use shutter priority instead of aperture priority?

Sigma 80-400, with OS turned off as I was shooting with 400 ISO and rather high shutter speeds. Aperture priority, f6.3 or f5.6 as a general rule..

Thank you Big V for the information, believe it or not it helps me a lot to understand of my camera and what I can expect, if I ever get the handle of it... I've been looking around and saw your lens and its price and I am afraid that it will be a long while before I can afford it.

Phantastic shots,

as already mentioned the sharpness, the action, the colours against the grey background.

Very cool,

In the first shot, "is it a bird, is it a plane?" :D

Definately number 1 for me. However the only thing that possibly detracts from that image is the bird in the background.

they are all so sharp!!
