This is not the greatest photo - but it is lucky. My Father-in-law told me what I was seeing tonight wasn't bats but was birds.
I went into the house picked up my camera (70-300mm zoom attached) - set the zoom to 70mm - took a guess at the focus (manual obviously) - opened the flash. Waited for a bat to fly past me and ........ I took one picture and one picture only.

WHAT THE HELL?
nice shot steamie -- whenever i'm stalking bees they're always ass up and head in the flower ...
A little luck a good photographer makes<-- especially in sports and nature
Thank you for your kind words and wisdom.
You may remember the poster I did for the Mini Chuckwagon Championships. While I was asked to be the official photographer, really it was my first time doing any sports photography. There are more on my flickr page.
Taken with my 70-200 F4 with a strobe on each side. It could have used a smaller aperture (the shot, that is).
I have that lens(24-70) but am thinking of getting the 70-200 f/4 non is. How do you like it?
I love it, but I wish I would have gotten the F2.8 version. When you consider the fact that it comes with the tripod mount ring ($150), the prices aren't too far apart considering the wider aperture as well. But I only use the 70-200 indoors on a tripod so not that big of a deal.
If you get the non-IS, make sure you have steady hands or prepare to bump the ISO up a bit, unless it's a really sunny day. But you can't beat the price on that lens.
HDR from three RAWs. It didn't need much more range, but I gave it +1, 0, and -1.
Fay cured our drought down here and filled up this tiny reservoir that was bone dry less than a week ago.
Nice subtle use of HDR. And nice job on getting the blurry water effect.
Looks like one of the concourses at the new Bangkok Airport (Suvarnbhumi I think its called) SOO much better than the old airport...though you can't golf on this one...
Nice shot...how did you achieve the water blur...did you use a filter...or was it a little dark to take a long exposure ?
ND8 filter, for 3 extra stops.
It was pretty shady, but not enough for an exposure like this without a filter on front.Thanks!
PS: I think the times were 5, 10, and 20 seconds. Around f/16.
