These are just beautifully photographed and presented.
Well they were until this website got hold of them and made them less important than blank space and adverts.
Lovely photos

These are awful - those birds keep getting in the way of the branches you are shooting


Regarding the way they present on the Forum:

I agree in part, although there seems to be a big difference based on the Browser and resolution the Forum is viewed at. My biggest gripe is the image sizes, on click through they are much better in the new Gallery than they are on the Forum, but at least they are retaining their true colour and contrast now, which wasn't so in the past.
The last Goldfinch and the Bullfinch in particular are excellent. The DA*300/1.4TC is a strong combination
I would go stronger than that about the DA*300/1.4TC combination, I would say it is stellar in IQ terms and also pretty darned good for AF. There can be a tendency to hunt a little in AF and I find it works better for me in AF-S than AF-C, but once it locks on it's usually right. The beauty for me with this combination is the ability to use it wide open and get sharp results, all of these were at F5.6 I think, which is widest effective aperture available with the TC attached. It's also very usable without a camera support; all of these were hand held at shutter speeds between 1/60 and 1/250. I guess this also speaks volumes for the in-body stabilisation.

The images are all taken with the DA*300 and 1.4 TC, with a mixture of the K-5iis and the K-3.
Constructive criticism and feedback is very much encouraged.
