Today I decided to test the AF of my just arrived Nikon D3s. One must know something about chickens before photographing and that is once roaming they never stay still. These guys are very fast and for me was a perfect target to see how reliable the AF of Nikon D3s really is.
Well nothing scientific about this test though, I already knew how awesome Nikon D3s is since I already own the D3. To me this photoshoot was more or less just to check the new camera making sure everything works as it should.
It was so much fun to see how these hens go about their busy life. It looks no matter how much food they got they always seem hungry. I also love how they stick together when threat nears and these particular ones were actually few seconds latter all at once ran off to fight the cat to save their poor friend in trouble. Hens are beautiful creatures, they can be so tamed just like any other pet that lives in the house and they also know and feel if they loved by their owner, and in return for his/her love and care they pay back with many eggs and those are really delicious.
Well I hope you’ll enjoy these series of photos and by all means do the poster a favor by leaving comments.
Thank you,
-Yuriy
