Good Mornin' Andy!
From the "frozen" water droplets in the "swans" shot, I'd say you're
doing pretty well!
The 400/560/f6.8's are amazing for such a lightweight lens. I've
used them with just the shoulder stock with good success (though a
reasonably high rate of motion failures). Like Doug, I mostly use
the 400 with the shoulder stock AND a monopod. Especially when using
a 2x converter, as well!
Were your shots made with a monopod or a tripod? Or did you "wing" it?
Keep up the good work! :-)
