A few I have had chance to process from today's shoot. Mainly f/2.8 at 640 ISO as it was very dull and very wet. My 1st time at this event and will be back so any feedback on what you think works/doesn't will be appreciated.

First time out? These are just fabulous, great anticipation on the fellow and the Lab. Lovely colors, tones, sharpness is great.
What are the smaller birds.a kind of partridge?

Thanks Sisco.
No Partridge today, was Pheasant on the 1st beat, Duck 2nd. I think Partridge in a few weeks time. I believe all today's heads (around 296) were on the back of the van so as above. Was just a grab shot on the way back to the vehicles so a little abstract at 2.8. Have one I have yet to process which has a focal point of a tail feather so a slightly less abstract.
Difficult to know what kit to use for the best having never done a shoot but deff going to stick with the 85mm prime as you need to be able to move about (carefully) and monopod and long lens a little OTT.

As a nature lover the shooting of Ducks is not for me. I hope you all ate everything you killed?

As far as the images go, they look nice
