Thanks for the info. I think I might be able to do something like that in Gimp, gonna try it out.
Is it only me but I can only see my photo when I post them, but when I log out I can't see them anymore even if I login again.
Thanks,
John.

John, good to see you back! I can see your photo every time I am on. Great shot!
Thanks guys, it's nice to take pictures of birds again!
Lochnell, fantastic shot! Keep it up.

I like the background on this one.

Edit, fixed it.
This one I cannot see. Just a little square picture icon (about a 1/4" X 1/4" square). I have the same problem with a lot of David Ware's pictures he posts.Quote:

@Fastglass; John I can't see your pix either. Lochnell....welcome....and great ring neck capture.

Nice and sharp, showing a good bit of behaviour. You should be well happy with it

here are a few from this morning
70d 400f 5.6 + 1.4II extender .taped pins and autofucus works pretty good. it hunts sometimes but it works

Really nice set of images Stuart, love the poses and the technical details are spot on!Quote:

I think I fixed the other photo, used my smartphone. Guess it didn't work out.
Yes, nice owl picture. I have but one VERY crummy shot of a barn owl in flight but would be ashamed to post it! They are certainly elusive.
Looks good to me Joel. That 5Ds R tempts me very much as well.
I like how the waves have a little HDR affect in them.

Nice shot of the Herons, it might be my monitor but they seem a little underexposed? The snow looks more like 30% grey, to me.
Took this just yesterday, not my best but still OK.
http://community.the-digital-picture...2&d=1428276258
There was crazy amounts of atmospheric distortion in this shot (2X on 600mm) and ISO 6400, it's so soft at 100% it's impossible to tell if it's in perfect focus or not (I suspect that it is.). But it's reasonable at 800 pix.
Hope you like it,
John.
Good call on the exposure John . I am away from home for a few days so im using my laptop and the brightness changes a lot depending on the angle im looking at the screen.
Is thi a little better , or to bright ?

Osprey....normally these guys don't come close enough to fill the frame....I did very little cropping on this shot.
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7682/...d3274a57_c.jpg
Bill, it's a nice shot... but I'm confused. To me, those noise levels at ISO 800 imply a near pixel-peeping level of cropping, but you say you didn't crop much. Was it originally severely underexposed? Did you add grain in post?
thanks David...yes, it was underexposed and needed quite a bit of added exposure. I was shooting another subject when s/he appeared quickly....I turned focused and shot....this was the only shot w/it looking down at me w/eyes sharp after PPing.
Yes sedwards, it's MUCH better now!
The sea gull shot is great.
John.

Had a chance this week to take the 7DII on a fishing trip to Weiss Lake in north east Alabama......I was surprised to find a large flock of Pelicans there.

300mm f2.8L Version I + 2X TC Version III
Hand held from a rocking boat.....so I went for as much shutter speed as possible

This flight image has the same camera settings as my previous post....the 7D MKII has a focusing system that is on par with the 1DX in my opinion. It really does a fabulous job of locking onto birds in flight.

Joel, don't be saying such things! That could get expensive so far I am happy with my 6D and 7DI. AWESOME shots by the way!Quote:

It's light, easy to handle and is a stellar performer although it can't compare to the 1Dx in low light. Also for birds the 1.6 crop factor really helps to get a lot of pixels on the subject. Here is another example:Quote:

Joel,
Congratz on the new camera. I like the little bit of resolution boost from the extra pixels the 7D II gives.
I am looking forward to the 5Ds R. Last weekend shooting Turkeys I did to good of a job with the blind, I started with the 7D II and had to switch because of to much focal length. I want to see what the 5Ds R will look like with a properly framed 50mp turkey.
We hear quit a bit about low light so a few times since I bought the 7D II I monitored the light and when it became unacceptable or acceptable depending on sunrise and sunset. After ISO 800 I am not impressed with the 7D II and that is my cut off. I watched the light on Saturday, overcast day in a semi shaded area and I was at ISO 800/ F4.5 / 1/500 up till about 20 minutes before sunset then I had to go to ISO 1600. I had to go to ISO 800 30 minutes before sunset. My opinion I loose about 20 minutes of shooting time at sunset and sunrise, and gain a resolution boost the rest of the day.
I should have used a lower iso for less noise , but i was trying to get a shot of a vulture on the ground in the shadows when i saw this guy overhead and didnt have time to change any settings. this was with a brand new 7d II that i just picked up yesterday. the autofocus on this thing is amazing compared to my 70D for moving subjects

still trying to figure out my new 7D II , but this thing will focus on anything ! the focus is much faster than my 70D was and doesnt hunt at all , even with the 400 5.6+1.4 extender. here are a couple of shots from this afternoon.
