Very good shots Mike.

You are shooting CX 300 mm which equals FX 810mm and still having to crop? Are you too far away from your subject?

Peeking at the EXIF I'm guessing your shooting in aperture mode mostly at f/8? Where you have distance between your subject and the background, the bokeh looks nice.

I should have my 70-300 this week and can't wait to try it out. How does it feel on the V2?

Its not the CX its the standard VR 70-300,the CX would be nice because of the camera facility's it allows you to use like AFC,that is one expensive piece of glass at the moment,if i ever had to go completely V2 then i would get it,looking forward to seeing your resuts.

So far these are looking great keep it up and as Eduard has said get closer

Thanks Scott,as you know the getting closer is not always possible,i normaly start taking as i approach and keep trying to get closer but at least i have a shot.

those two look like statues, almost beyond lifelike, the 2 seagulls on the light post. 2nd pic 1st page. Mike do you think the 70-300 is a better lens than the 55-300? And why? I know it cost more and I think it af's faster

Not up to the D810 and 300mm PF that J-See did but decided to try a 100% crop from a £130 lens on my V2
