Went for a local walk with the Mrs and put on the DA 55-300. If it took my fancy I shot it. For a relatively inexpensive lens this is very good and if anyone is contemplating getting one ...do it! Here are a few for your C&C.

I agree with you on the 55-300. It's a cracking lens for the price. Lightweight too. I very much like number 1 - good compo/pose and nice to catch him with a bug in his bill. I like the way the pink pops in number 8 as well - did you use a little flash on that one? Nice set

Yes it was a little overcast so just popped it with the flash, same as the Pea flowers in number 3.

Curses.

I've been wresting with whether to trade up from the 50-200WR, but thought I'd be able to hold off for a while. Now this

Nice sharp shots

A lovely mixture, colourful and sharp.
Best wishes,

Yes, and we often neglect what's right under out noses, Steve, to the detriment of our photography!

Mind you, some of us have better places under our noses than others! That lighthouse looks to be in a lovely spot.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Nice set Steve, although the birds seem a bit soft

That lighthouse is just over the water from you Barry Island no less. Some eagle eyed among us may notice the creative license?

Technically you are probably right Alan, but sometimes its about the picture not necessarily the quality of the picture. I certainly won't be entering any of these into any competitions but I think they are nice to look at, which is after all what a picture is for.
BTW thanks for the honesty.
