I had to crop them a little bit as I didn't want to get too close with my kid in my arms, but I was very surprised when I pulled them up on the computer and they were as sharp as they were. I know I can't hold that still either, so I would have to give credit to the IS.

I don't normally shoot nature pics, but this was just outside my front door so I couldn't resist.

Autumn colours are back again over here in Ireland, my favourite time of the year for wildlife photography. 400D + 300 F4L. 1/800 f5[img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.23.16/Starling_5F00_1.jpg[/img]
The background is pretty "busy" and therefore distracting. With that said, colors are great and the bird is tack sharp.

It was a cluttered background that drew criticism of being a messy composition. I agreed with that criticism but it is my most asked for composition because of the history around it. And we all know the customer is always right. Bridal Portrait It seems the original photo is no longer available on the thread but you can see it in Madison's reply after he made some adjustments to it.

I was hesitant to post a bird photo with, but couldn't resist w/ this one.
I haven't posted any pictures here in a while, after seeing this thread on top today, I'd like to share a few...
1. The pack
There's lots of distracting elements in this image, but I like it because all 3 coyotes are looking at me.

I would appreciate your comments, thank you.
Nate,
Well like I've mentioned before in the forums, I'm not anywhere near a pro, so I don't really have much to contribute (critisizm wise), but I really like all three, especially the coyote one!
Kam
Hey Nate, great pictures - I've actually already seen them on your gallery which I check from time to time [:)]
Do you remember how far you were from the coyotes?
All are awsome. Great work.
Mark
Nate,
Great as-per-usual. Love that Osprey!
Here are few more.[img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.28.86/_5F00_MG_5F00_7747.TIF-reduced.JPG[/img][img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.28.86/_5F00_MG_5F00_7774.TIF-reduced.JPG[/img][img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.28.86/_5F00_MG_5F00_7950.TIF-reduced.JPG[/img]
Great shots as usual Fast Glass.
My favorite is the squirl. Looks like a light rain.
Mark
Mr Fast Glass - which lens did you use?
my view walking out of work this morning. canon xti 18mm 1/320s f/8 iso 100

Yes the squirl picture was taken in light rain. I'll post some more pictures as I get time.

I got all nine lenses from this older gentleman who was a photo instructer andlife longphotog for $400!!!!!!! All in absolutely mint condition....[:D]
Here is a 100% crop with sharpening.

LOL who needs a Canon EF 800mm when you have such a sharp lens?
BTW, what kind of adapter you are using to connect it to you (EOS right?) camera?

Comment welcome.
richm,....did you do any Post processing?
Very nice, richm. I love the colors, the strong lines, and the symmetry. Without the house, it would still be very nice , but the house adds a focal point which- I can't explain how- *makes* the picture IMO.
todd, I did not do any post processing.
Here is another Robin shot.

The lens produce great colors and is extremely sharp! I wish I could put my hands on it [:D]

new to these forums, and i would like to thanks you all for your discussions and posts and of course Bryans reviews. As you have helped me decide what was the right path back into photography for me.
cheers Al
Hey Mark, am I correct in assuming that you like this Minolta lens?....[;)]
I am not sure which Mark you are asking but yes. It is fantastic. Great images.
