What you need to do is use Av (Aperture mode) and set the camera to f4-f11 depending on you DOF (how much of the frame do you want in focus?).
After that - the camera will decide the shutterspeed.
Use a low iso.
You will probably notice that the shutterspeed will be anything from a few seconds to a few minutes = use a tripod and if you have - a remote to avoid any shake.
I hope that helps.

nothing wrong with these !
that fish is extraordinarily sharp for a small, distant, moving object.
And noise just isn't an issue.

Some of the first shots looks like you used the wrong WB as well - or the colours are just screwed up/flat.
The park is very dark (all under trees) so by upping the ISO to as much as 800 in some cases I got a much more suitable shutter speed for the length and weight of the lens (the squirrel, which is the softest to me was iso 100 1/90)and so eliminated shake.
I know this is old news to all of you but I am learning as I go along and up until now I never used an ISO above 400 as I thought it would cause horrendous noise on the picture.
I was so concerned about the IQ that I emailed Chris at SRS Monday to order a 55-300mm but thankfully he has no stock
I am happy to carry on with the lens now until the DA*60-250mm arrives (if ever) as that is the one I am waiting for.

The tiger is an excellent shot - well framed.
I love the boardwalk - but I think you should have added more impact to the sky. Prieni did a great job. On the other hand you could have pushed the levle of black in the tonemapping to create a better and more contrasty sky.
Still - again - excellent composition.

Hard to comment on all of those. Post a few you want comments on.
I love you animal shots. I guess it is not real HDR but tonemapped single files. Never the less I like these kind of images.

This would help a lot.

I like Nimitz "Castle" a lot. Lovely sky, good tonality in the castle. I just keep wondering how it would look if it got the B & W Infrared treatment :
Martin.
BTW - what happend to all the comments??? I can't see any comments to any shots at all. Is it just me?
