So far so good - this new site and forum are shaping up and things are working better for me, at least. So, time to try posting an image.
Her's an image from a couple months ago, taken with a V3 and my AF-S 300/4E while chasing a vagrant bird at a nearby park. ISO 1100, 1/500th at f/8.
I reacted to the backlight that brought out many shades of green.
