More Bearded Tit

You seem to be getting the hang of the 560. I like the uninterrupted view of #3 Thanks Barrie. They're little buggers. There's always (well almost) a reed in front of them, which makes it hard to focus on them. I've got loads of in focus reed photos with the two bearded tits nicely out of focus.:rol...

Here's an example which would have been a far better shot if it had worked. Problems were mostly that the dolphins were quick, here and gone and never in the same place twice.. Although I was using the monopod you have to take into account my shakey hand too... The blur to the left is the back of so...

Cheers guys. I've never been that happy with the results at higher iso settings so tend to keep it at 100 as much as possible. The second shot there was at 1/400th so shutter speed/iso wasn't the problem. The more I look at it the more I think the focus is a bit out and that's probably down to using...

I was using AV mode to try and keep a decent depth of field and shooting RAW, I suppose I could try full manual next time and trust to RAW to let me drag the exposure back up. Or bite the bullet and just go higher on the iso. One thing I've noticed is that using AF-C slows the burst rate way down.

In digital, I wouldn't use 100ASA for anything except as a means of reducing light gathering in very bright shots... it doesn't seem to give better results... as opposed to the analogue days... especially with todays sensors... 200 min... very happy with 800 these days... even on the old *istD ...

Our garden residents

Thanks both :D The young sparrow shot was a little overexposed but is also cropped a lot which can't have helped the detail. Matty, I chose the 200mm f4 for the brirds coming closer to where I was as the 400mm I have won't focus below 5.5 metres :wink: It is like many old lenses when I use...

Portrait pictures at American Football game

Agree with Stuey, 1 needs to be brighter (still the best of the bunch imo) and I think 2 would have been better with focus on the player rather than the coach. I have to say number 5 looks totally out of place as an American football player. :lol:

Front on views are stunning, quick question do you use manual focus or auto?

Mad dogs and Englishmen on a trip to the coast

Just for fun, my first trip out with the new K5IIs and the Tamron 70-200 2.8 gave me an ideal opportunity to observe the average 'day tripper'. These are really presented just for fun but as always any C+C welcome. Carl 1. I thought they said this was a treat - I don't see any treats! ...

My First Red Arrows of 2014

Many thanks for the comments, I'm glad everyone enjoyed them. I have never used the K-5II and 7D side by side before and I have to say that with regard to actual focus speed there is very little in it but there was quite a difference in tacking ability which meant the Canon gave more keepers. ...
