Hi again everybody,
This time we have a set of recent shots taken at both very short and (for us at least) very long distances.
These are all shot with the SX30, and all at the long-end of the lens, even tho some were taken at quite close range.
First, here's another portait of our Bold Mockingbird. But this one is actually a medium distance shot (700mm eq @20ft), which was deeply cropped (... it's roughly 2mp of the original 14mp frame):
This closeup of one of our remaining female Bluebird fledges from last season was shot with the 1.7x digital TC (1428mm eq) from @ 8ft. This is full-frame - no crop:
Here's Missy (our mother Bluebird), also full-frame at 720mm eq from @10ft:
This male Bluebird portrait is another pretty big crop, taken with 700mm eq at @12ft:
And here's one of the Yellow-rumped Warbler, also a pretty big crop, taken with 700mm eq at @15ft:
A male Cardinal, full-frame with 840mm eq from @30ft:
Another Mockingbird shot, full-frame with 1400mm eq (using the digital TC again), from @50ft:
And a long shot, sundown Flicker. Again with the digi TC at 1428mm. This is a 25% crop from @100ft:
These shots were taken hand-held in Manual mode, in a wide variety of lighting conditions.
We hope you enjoy them,
Kenn
