Whereabouts did you go in Tz?
I am hoping to go there again next year. Ours (mostly mine) are at http://tinyurl.com/mtbu4z but there are over 1500 of them as we just couldn't choose . The best ones are on days three through eight.
Thanks. We stayed in several places this time - Gibbs Farm and Udohtu (don't think I have spelt that right) were 2 but I can't remember the others. I ca look it up for you if you want. You only have 1500 pictures - I have 5500! I have many hours of work to do to choose the best Will look at yours now.Lovely!

OK everyone this is prob me being stupid here but they all look in focus to me?
With the exception of the 2nd deer (was long range and heavily cropped)
and the picture of the duck family.
So what I need to know is how are the others out of focus (I know my eyesights crap like but not that bad surely!?)
and how to improve for future ocasions.
Thanks

Are you using MF or AF? You say your eyesiht is crap what do you mean by that? From my ow experience of using my Sigma 135 - 400mm lens I knowust how hard it is to hold the camera still when hand holding and I now no longer feel I can do this at all. However, I believe you said you were using a tripod? I have been out today again using both my macro andlong lens on the tripod and even using this I have found that on MF using macro I can mess up a shot if I am touching the tripod or just breath Mae sure the camera is tight on the tripod and try not to lean on it. Have you set the viewinder up to suit your eyesight? Are you using AV or TV or another setting. I tend to use AV unless the subject is moving and then use TV. I also use the histogram and zoom in on the shot on the LCD scree to get an indicaton of how sharp it is.
I a really not the most experienced person to advise you on this as I am very much still a beginner myself
Good Luck and keep trying

Curious. Where I live, I do worry about going out alone, but not through any fear of humans. When they have young, wild boar are a force to be reckoned with. Even with a sturdy Manfrotto monopod as a potential weapon, I would not like to come face to face with a wild boar sow guarding her offspring. Given the chance, they'd eat me alive.
Rumour has it that a local man spent an entire night on the roof of an abandoned building after he was confronted by a number of boar.

Nice thought having a nice hunk walking round with me I had a German Shepherd until last April who made me feel very safe (soft as muck though but knew who not to trust!). That said at least one of the incidents has involved a lady walking 2 dogs and even that didn't deter the person!
