Actually it was Clarky .....

Not having done anything for a LOT of years I was stuck with my little Canon Ixus 430 (still have it) and decided that as I was in Spain I needed something a little more interesting to record my time here.
I was undecided as to which maker to go with and had more or less decided on a Canon 400D (as my friend had one at the time) but as always, being a fan of the underdog I found this forum, saw Clarkys macro stuff and my mind was made up.

Gorgeous shot .. stunning colours.

It amazes me how many people will only sell in the UK though, especially with the pound at rock bottom ... it is about 30% down against the $ and € at the moment .. all you need is a European and Yank to show an interest and they could be quids in.

Actually, does anyone know why this is even an option, why not make is a standard setting?

Oooops .. beaten TWICE ...

Menu/ustom settings/using aperture ring ...Permitted.

That should hopefully sort it.

As I can't see the leg colour I will stay with Chiff Chaff.

That looks good to me, thanks Peter.

It suprises me how small these birds are, before seeing one I always presumed they were swan size but they are not much bigger than a very small goose.

Anyway, thanks to all for the help.

There seems to be quite a few people on here that know their birds so was wondering if anyone could possibly help me out with a couple.

Chiffchaff? .. not sure







And.




Heres a funny little Egret I got today

Now thats quite handy actually, I could never work out why it doesn't do that on my K10D.

I just have to hold off 3 or 4 more days before thinking about buying the K20D and all will be fine again.

So basically Canon & Nikon users attach a ruddy great fast lens and blat away as fast as the camera will allow?

I don't, for some reason Flickr strips it automatically on every size apart from the original. Everything I upload has the Exif intact.
