The first one is a good shot, probably could do with a bit more pop from post processing. The second one is a very strong shot. Ok, the focus is not exactly where you wanted it but you could say that you tried to accentuate the chip on his shoulder :lol: I love this one. The third one is a stu...

PS; I cant believe you didn't shoot the west door (I do it every time I go and still aint got it right) I find taking photos a time sponge. I got to the Minster, paid my money, then realised I only had an hour left to get up the tower, down the tower and off to my meeting. Just getting up the tower...

Swans are photogenic aren't they ?
yup... swans hate dogs. here's a tip when hand feeding them. if they get a bit too aggressive, then tell them off! they don't like stern voices. if they continue, then a tap on the beak with a finger does the trick. if you want a good chance at getting the water off the beak shot... feed the...

Walk in the woods
Hi Karl, I still consider myself as a novice really when it comes to DSLR Photography and hold back on comments regarding technical debates. However I still have opinions on what I like an image to basicaly show. I feel the images are dark, not sharp/out of focus. The first just looks that the shu...

macro tubes
had a first try with the new KR auto tubes, got them from Poland. Missed the focus on the eye here things can only improve. the fly had a slight crop but the hopper was full frame.

DA* 300 1st Attempt
Hi Barrie, I noticed the shutter speed on the first bird shot was 1/60 I think that might have been a bit slow for a 300mm lens. Most of the bird is good but I think the blurred head is due to the bird moving rather than a focus issue. I would try a few test shots of a static subject at a higher sh...

DA* 300 1st Attempt
Well I would have said camera shake, but strangely enough the Robin which was shot at 1/15th sec is the sharpest? Unless of course you have problems with maintaining steadiness, ie: sometimes your lucky? Perhaps its focusing? the Squirrel for example doesn't seem to have any point of focus, this ...

DA* 300 1st Attempt
All the exposures seem fairly long for a 300mm lense - were you hand holding? Shot three - the holly leaf seems nearest to being in focus. It seems to be focusing in front of the correct point. The magpie is interesting. All the ones I have seen are black/white.

DA* 300 1st Attempt
Don't panic! I suspect it's camera shake. The very blurred portions in the pictures are where the animal is moving so it looks like a fairly low shutter speed is the problem for most of those shots. A 300mm on a DSLR is a very long lens and takes a bit of practice to hold it steady. I went through t...

There are various ways to set the dioptre adjustment, I use the method suggested in the manual, let the camera auto-focus on a bright distant object then adjust the dioptre till it look sharp through the viewfinder The best method to adjust the dioptre is to point the camera at a white surface and a...

DA* 300 1st Attempt
Where am I going wrong? Any Help Please general rule of thumb without SR I have used is shutter speed at 1/2xfocal length, so you need around 1/600th for a 300mm lens, depending how wobbly you are you may manage 1/1x or slightly better i.e 1/300th for #1 it's 1/125 sec, F4, ISO200, AF-S mode, ...
