Hi oldcanon, Ron

I noticed you have a 500d.. Very encouraging to me (I have 500d too).
Mind if you share the exif? Thanks.

Pete I hope you got the exif info off my Flickr ok.

I had a bit of a play this morning as I came across that heron again you might find these interesting.

Hand can go down ti 1/15 on days when I suddenly get good technique but it disappears as quickly.

Hello Gang -
I watch this thread pretty much every day, grateful for those posting ~
Finally got out today for a few shots - got tired of the weather keeping me indoors, uninspired....

The below is nothing special - except to say that I am again pleased with the lens (and 60D) able to lock onto my subject in AI Servo even through tree branches. Original then slight crop. 1/1600, f/8, ISO 800, center AF

3 is a nice catch William. Yes, wife tells me I am better off here then back home atm. haha.

Redo of the cattle egret.

nice behavioural shots William, my kind of subjects and Bobobird, that is a much better image of a really funky bird

A couple of local songbirds for your entertainment, the first is a Dunnock (also known as a Hedge Sparrow) but unlike normal sparrows this one can sing beautifully and is a solitary little thing. The next is a Linnet which is a Spring / Summer visitor here

Thanks.

Like both, maybe the 2 gets an additional point for looking so cute.

The more I use the 70-300 LIS + 7D the more I find it can do, these two shots show the original frame + 100% crop from within it, of a Whitethroat in flight, shot using AI servo with all focus point active

The noise and slight colour change are where I processed if from RAW to jpg and then put some pp in to get more detail out (the full frame is simply resized and saved as a JPG with no processing)

I wish I hadn't seen this, it's awesome and my craving for a 7D just went through the roof.

Hi Ron, thanks for exif..

Hi oldcanon, you are 'killing' me with 7d shots like that..

Still testing the lens... here are 2 shots (with 100% crop on the right) of the same subject at 70mm and 300mm...

70mm, f/4

Another shot at 300m f/5.6

They crop well dont they. haha

Pete - post that in the birds section and ask. More experts there who can help with ID.

Very nice shot btw.

Hi

Jeff Dyck helped to id the bird..
It is a Scaly-breasted Munia (aka Nutmeg Mannikin).
