Both the cardinal and the dove are very nicely captured, Wallace! I can see that the new lens likes you.:-)

Outstanding, super sharp close-up image of the Cactus Wren, Tom! You really managed to get close to this guy!

I thought you'd be much closer than 20 feet for that close-up Tom. The crop really turned out great! Nice work.

Thanks very much Mike. The R5/100-500 combo is really wonderful.

Great shot of this cuddly little ball of feathers, Richard! And the setting is so nice.

Sorry fotoi, but it's a hen mallard. It is however an excellent shot. The color and sharpness are spot on.

Awesome close-up!

Outstanding, super sharp close-up image of the Cactus Wren, Tom! You really managed to get close to this guy!

I'm always amazed at how beautiful these birds are. You captured this one so nicely, and showed him off so well, Steve!

Nice captures of this uncommon visitor, flurp!

I thought you'd be much closer than 20 feet for that close-up Tom. The crop really turned out great! Nice work.

Thank you, Mike, I made the correction.

I'll bet I make more mistakes on these forums than anyone else, fotoi. My excuse is old age.:-)

Hi sierracharlie338...

Thanks for the comments. I was about 20 feet away. Thanks to the R5 and RF 100-500 combination, I was able to crop pretty heavily while still retaining much of the clarity. Here's a full-frame view of the cropped version to give you an idea of the scale.

Good settings. To reduce whatever ISO noise Canon has a weird ISO increments of every ISO 160.

So ISO

- 160
- 320
- 640
- 1250
- 2500
- 5000
- 10,000

These ISOs are cleaner than the next bump or bump down

Nice shot! What a pretty looking dove, Paolo! It almost looks like the wings are painted.:-)
