Can't the frogs find something else to eat? Please? RAW-Shooter wrote in post #18664470 First of all: Those foxes are too cute. Love it. Second: Those mosquitos - I think you need to practice that a bit more. You gotta get closer - don't get bitten though. They are nasty buggers... Cheers. .

A caribou can loose up to half a litre of blood a day to the lowly little mosquito. That is a lot of mosquito bites. Now, back k to our regular programming. Rod

Ray.Petri I’m full of useless facts  More info | Jul 18, 2018 23:11 | #8501 Good morning all. I look at all the pics here and wonder how many are hand held as opposed to tripod mounted. If you use a tripod do you disable the IS? Ray-P

Archibald You must be quackers!  More info | Jul 18, 2018 23:30 | #8502 Ray.Petri wrote in post #18665706 Good morning all. I look at all the pics here and wonder how many are hand held as opposed to tripod mounted. If you use a tripod do you disable the IS? Most of my previous bird pics are tripod mounted with the IS off. My point is this - I seem to get roughly the same amount of sharpness hand held as as tripod mounted. This is also my conclusion from the shipping pics I take. Now, is the IS that good? (Note: I see there is a new 70-200 f4 being released with 5 stop stabilisation) No tripod, unless I'm shooting night scenes. Canon R5 and R7, assorted Canon lenses, Sony RX100, Pentax Spotmatic F

The only time I use a tripod is when I'm shooting with a lens that is just to heavy for me to hand hold successfully (such as my Canon 500). LD, or Mike

JohnMajor Senior Member  More info | Jul 19, 2018 08:29 | #8504 Another vote for no tripod. Most of my wildlife shots are taken while hiking or biking and I want the flexibility to move about for the best camera angle under the circumstances. I've gone as low as 1/25th of a second handheld with acceptable (to me) sharpness. I try to release the shutter similar to how I use increasing pressure on the trigger for precision target shooting, causing as little disturbance as possible at the time the shot is taken.

saea501 ... spilled over a little on the panties  More info | I cannot imagine trying to shoot birds in flight with a tripod hanging off the bottom of my camera. Kind of like trying to run with a bowling ball tied to one ankle. Remember what the DorMouse said.....feed your head.
