My first zoo visit in France
Good sharp focus throughout, yes the second lion image you posted is a better crop. Take care.

these will often build a nest well within reach on the back deck, this one was busy in the van park at Cooktown

XXX Rated XXX - Red Deer Mating from Richmond Park
Went back to Richmond park this morning trying to get some classic shots that I didn't manage to get last week and ended up witnessing a mating right in front me! The full sequence of 10 images only took 4 seconds from start to finish so was very pleased to have captured it! As usual, the and ...

Gosh some impressive record shots there:wink: (ahem). Glad you went back to the Park again. Were these with the 250-600? Regards

Not sure you're going too far wrong...:) It would be useful to know if this is a crop and what the exif data is (maybe I can get that myself from the pic?? - not sure how to:shock:). The pic looks a little noisy, especially in the bokeh, so I am guessing you had to use a high ISO to get a decent han...

1/500 should have been fine, ISO 800 shouldn't worry the K-r and I often shoot my Bigma at f6.3 at 500mm so that looks ok. From the look of the straw it seems you have maybe got the rear end of the bird in focus rather than the head. Was the shot possibly underexposed and you have tried to bri...

You could well be right about the focus issue Mike as i had to take it fairly quickly as it took off a couple of seconds later. Unfortunately i do not have the original as i deleted it in the camera by mistake:roll:

Guitarist at local gig (daylight)
The thing that grabs me instantly when I look at this picture, is the concentration on his face. That and the fact that the guitar is edge on, and therefore a bit devoid of detail, makes the face the focal point of the picture, so it's a shame that it's not quite in focus. It's also a very t...

Guitarist at local gig (daylight)
Thanks for comments, it appears that I did get the focus wrong. (checked using PotoME) There was a mike stand on the right hand side of him so a bit measy, but I have had a go at it and this is the result. I will have a look at the others to see if I have a better one to post. Regards

When shooting bands with a backdrop, always be careful about positioning, either use it as a backdrop, but use the whole thing or try to frame using a black part of the backdrop. Here are some examples... Hope these give you some ideas. I am guessing the face is out of...

A morning walk
No.4 for me as well. Would it be possible to (selectively) increase contrast/sharpness on the group of seed-heads, just left of the path? With the line of the fence receding into the distance & the lines of the oof grasses & the shadow left foreground bringing the eye back, it would create a nic...

The Moon with Tokina AT-X 80-400mm
ChrisA: I seem to be one step behind you here... I took the photos with AF on. Could that possibly be a problem (should I have used manual focus)?

ChrisA: I seem to be one step behind you here... I took the photos with AF on. Could that possibly be a problem (should I have used manual focus)? Definitely worth a try, unless you've already verified that the AF is set up exactly right. Accurate focusing is so critical. The 2s timer is good, t...

The Moon with Tokina AT-X 80-400mm
Thank you for very interesting comments! When I did my shots of the moon on Wednesday, I focused on different aperture settings. The next time I will try to "focus on focus":lol:, maybe manual focus could be a way to go? When discussing different photos of the moon, I rather like this image, do...

No idea, but let's stop it there and get back on topic please.

People are free to express opinions, and others are free to agree or disagree, and take whatever they like from what they read. No idea, but let's stop it there and get back on topic please. Oops, spoke too soon. John, my opinion is that on a C&C thread, it's nice for contributors to make posts...

Civility costs nothing Chris. I'm not clear how you think I'm being uncivil. It struck me that the stated purpose of Dr Orloff's post was a little disingenuous. I may be wrong, or I may not. I expressed an opinion, based on the impression I gained, to the effect that blatant showcasing on a C&C...

Golden Orbs
All worthy captures but, for me, the first reigns supreme with its 'spot on' exposure, hue and saturation and arresting combination of foreground detail in the spider and seed offset by the muted colours and shapes present in the out-of-focus background :mrgreen: Am I right in thinking that orb s...

Welcome to summer time!!
Well, she's very brave, stripping off in the middle of October! Firstly, I think 14 pictures is way too many to post if you're expecting comments in detail. Two, or three max - otherwise you're just expecting too much of people's time. I'll have a go, though. I know nothing about glamour pho...
