Thanks for the compliments folks. I like that first shot. You ought it see it in the full size version. The detail is pretty amazing.

Edited to add shot info/stats for those that want to see how I got the exposure.

I shoot all of my shots on fully manual settings. I want full control over all of the settings.

I do use Auto White Balance and sometimes Auto ISO.

For wildlife I use the Spot Metering setting. I want the camera to expose the subject at the center of the shot. If the rest of the frame is under or over exposed then I can crop that out or fix on the computer later. But I want the target to be properly exposed.

I shoot in RAW. The RAW files are huge. The RAW image of the first shot is 23MB by itself.

Once a shot is edited to my liking I "Convert and Save" it as a JPEG to the size that I want. This keeps the original RAW file in tact while creating a JPEG copy that can be posted the web, emailed, or printed.

You `do man LandPirate. Great pictures. I saved a few of those to use as wallpaper on my computer.
