Denise---This is now the second time I have responded, but the site doesn't seem to like me today. Here I go again:


Denise, Wow, great shots. Your Bird photography is really getting good. The detail in the white egret is excellant and the two Sandies are outstanding. Love the light and the post. Are you useing Joel's photoshop recipe?

Thanks for taking the time to respond twice, Bob

Actually, at the end of most pp, I have been applying the "lazy high pass sharpening" to some extent that "w349" suggested in another thread. The only thing with that though is that it is real fine lines between too little, too much and just right ...I tend to apply too much half the time!

Some very inspiring shots in this thread. I will start with an Australian Ospray

Joel, You make the most common birds look like works of art----Excellent as usual---stop, no, thats not true---there is a line just to the right of the bird----ooops, thats just a smudge on my monitor---I was right the first time.

Excuse the blank post.....my office PC is quirky....I was thanking Bob for the nice comments but the text vanished when I hit the post button.


Thanks Bob for the kind words, I too am amazed at the beauty of little song birds when I get to see a close up detailed image.

I went for a walk down the river this afternoon to test out my new Samyang 35/1.4 vs 15-85, took my 70-300L along for the ride, then ended up taking more shots of these Rainbow Lorikeets.


Finally nailed one as good as Steve's a few pages back, 70-300L, f/6.3, 1/250, CPL, and setting-sun straight behind me, just on the border of the sweet yellow-light...
