I like No. 6 & 8, the brickwork makes for a better image.

Nope, it's the seagull spoiling the symmetry that holds the appeal for me.[/quote]I bow to your preference.

Correct but "Have you tried it with the gull cloned out?"

This topic keeps popping upfrom time to time.

If we say a 300mm lens apears to bring a subject 6 times closer and a 500mm lens brings it 10 times closer, how, by selecting a smaller image size (croped) do we change the magnification factor?

FOV is equivalent but not object image size on any sensor for a given distance. I still work on actual lens focal length.

Always an issue topic this one. Nikon have bodies that auto crop for digital only lenses, that does not alter the actual object image on the sensor. True, the object image covers more area of the sensor if cropped size but then you print up to standard sizes and bring in the 1.5x factor.

I'll stop here before I confuse myself and loose the point.

Best regards

There are two 500mm f/4.5 's on the bay at the moment.

Are we talking depleted uranium 12 gauge here or teflon coated .22 or Sabo's ?

:

First image is excellent.

Second image: I like the symetry of this. Have you tried it with the gull cloned out?

Last image is very good. Well caught and sharp.

Now had it been a Hawk?

Absolute cracking image!

Now where's my MP5?

I usually do not have any issues with wild animals but gulls and crows, I just can't handle. I tend to class them as vermin (admittedly the wrong thing to do).

Having built my own chargers for many years, I then bought commercial units. I now use a pair of these as they charge anything you might use, including manufacturers batteries providing you make a contact adapter.




It also covers my electric aircraft and helicopter batteries and my Makita's (converted to LiPo batteries).
