These look fantastic, and certainly are impressive considering the lens you were using!

Holy Cow, Dave - these are wonderful. My DA 55-300 represents some of the best "lens money" I've spent.

These are brilliant stop motion shots, Vibrant colour with super sharp focus. I bet you're proud of these.

Thanks,
thanks!! the first and homeshot was iso800 @ 210mm @f9..
the slide into 2nd shot was f8 @ 300mm @iso400 with +0.7ev, and the batter shot with the frozen ball was at iso400 @300mm @f9 with 0.3+ ev...
just a little tinkering helped grab some decent shots.... dave m
