Nice well captured shot.

We had about the normal number of blackbirds this year until the
last week when we had a lot of rain. I've no idea where they have
gone but I haven't seen a single one for about a week.

Sparrows etc. seem a lot less than last year.

Intersting to see that almost no one uses Tv, i believe that was the mode Nikon and Canon used right for their older SLR while Pentax uses Av.
Also Sv has not received any love
I think it was just Canon that only had Av ....... it attracted a lot of idiotic followers

Sunday was busy this week. A lot of stuff went for quite high
prices.

Be careful with snipes between 8 and 9 AM they take longer to
complete. At least 5 secs. instead of 2

See: w(remove_this)ww.snip.pl/en/stats.php
Excellent sniping site 17p per snipe.

Amazing how a man traced his stolen laptop with some
free software. link

He was on Radio 2 Jeremy Vine Show talking to Vanessa today (16th)
Should be available on iPlayer.

Another listener phoned in and they had done the same and the thief was now in jail

The IQ of the Sigmas - especially the 1.4x - is good, but they only work with lenses with a recessed rear element, and they won't work with Sigma's HSM lenses.
Hate to take issue with you Tim, but I have the 1.4X and it works (fine AF) with my 100-300mm f4 EX DG, which is an HSM lens.

I thought Sigma 100-300mm F4 didn't come with HSM.
Well done Steve for spotting this..... saved someone from making a very expensive mistake

There was a perfect example on ebay of what nonsense this method of bidding is link

A 28mm Pentax M lens with what the seller described as:
"HEAVY FUNGUS INSIDE LENS" It's worth £10 - £15 at the most but sold for an unbelieveable £41 + £3 postage all because of idiotic or shill bidding The last bid was so idiotic that no one else bid again and that bid stood for 3 days.

>> Snipped for brevity.... see original post for full text.
For whatever reason the lens is back on sale link

This is OK for 300mm lenses on the smaller digital sensor. It
may vignette slightly on a film camera at 300mm.
