Yes sedwards, it's MUCH better now!

The sea gull shot is great.

John.

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.

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...

Thanks guys, it's nice to take pictures of birds again!

Lochnell, fantastic shot! Keep it up.

I like the background on this one.

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...

Nice shot Joel. I like how there is some vignetting to emphasize the subject, is this post processing or just exaggerating the already present vignetting of the lens?

Here is a another one by me....

It's been a very LONG time since I have posted anything so here goes.

My choice would be the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 non-IS since sports would be your main love, in decent lighting you'll do fine without IS for portraits (given your budget). I have more confidence in the...

I have "scanned" film using a DSLR, it actually works quite well as long as you have something to keep the film square to your body, the same distance to your body, flat, something to easily advance...

I highly doubt that link, I just can't see a compromise lens outperforming a top of the line professional prime lens even with extenders.

John.

If the IQ is surprisingly good I would definitely consider it. And I will still have a few bucks left over from selling my 600 for something else.

This is a very interesting lens! It has the same aperture/focal length as my beloved Minolta 600mm f/6.3 but with AF and IS, I...

Great shot Joel! I haven't been here for a while and my how your shots stick out from the rest!

If I have time this year I know were a bunch (60 to 80) Bald Eagles gather this time of the year, so...

I think you are describing prime disease! Symtoms; irational desire for bokeh, don't care about low contrast or prefer that, constant dreaming and diziness which is depicted in your art.

I think...

15-85mm sounds like a good choice but mabye not good enough to justify the upgrade? In that case a 17-55mm f/2.8 may be in line with better IQ and faster aperture (although not really a big plus for...

Or if you are like me who shoots vertical as much as horizontal position the shutter button and other controls are very useful.

John.

There are a few things that the 6D has over the it but overall the 5D III is a better camera. If you have the money the 5D III is the way to go (excluding the 1DX of course).

John.

Extenders technically slow the AF 50% for the 1.4 and 75% (Or 100%, can't rember for sure.) for the 2X. But like the others pointed out the AF is reasonably fast even with extenders and unless you...

I hate digital! Ah, that should do it....:) LOL

John.

Yes, it's helps for static photos as well. I have it on my 60D and it's great!

I agree with the rest above the 5 II two would be your best choice, another option (for more money) is the 6D for...

I use DxO and it has the best noise reduction I know of and the best IQ. There are other programs that are pretty good to but DxO has the edge.

John.

The other places that I have a problem was with the RAW issue (Ken Rockwell has a similar opinion) and with your other lens recomendations that were not a real big deal but when posted in a...

Black Dog,

I'm not sure what you mean by 800 ISO looks "Gross". I had the XTi and even at 1600 ISO it was very reasonable after NR, even before NR it wasn't bad.

I see some of your comments...

I know what you mean, there are many things that affect IQ when comparing bodies from different formats. But in a studio setting with primes stopped down to there peak sharpness the difference is...
