Well, a pack of seagulls can keep you occupied for a while
Made a lot of sense. Clearly there is a lot of cropping margin with these 5MP (AND 4 MP) cams.
A good runner-up, exposure time long enough to blur the wing tips = life in the pic: frozen movement wouldn'thave been as nice, IMO that is.most of these, I just set the zoom to 4x and panned with the birds,

True but I am in need of some better subjects. I live 25 mi. from the sea, could be worse I guess. Endless opportunities at the beach cities but I hate the traffic.Well, a pack of seagulls can keep you occupied for a while
You make a good point, it is pretty amazing, as the crop seems very detailed (the original crop in my PC is better, at 180 dpi not 72). Right now, I just don't see the need to have 8Mp. I suppose Marco will teach us otherwise, but I am ok playing around with 4 or 5mp.
Thanks, hadn't thought of that, therefore I can't exactly take credit. I mentioned earlier that I am sort of surprised that 1/1000 sec does not completely stop the wings. Aperture was f5 , may have been f 5 on all of these.A good runner-up, exposure time long enough to blur the wing tips =most of these, I just set the zoom to 4x and panned with the birds,
