    Blue-faced Honeyeater

    When you like to photograph birds you spend a lot of time waiting, but with little or no result. No matter how elusive the bird may be, site down to breakfast and something will just drop in on you.

    @HDNitehawk....impressive enlargements. I just shot some HBs w/a borrowed 5Ds R....need to upgrade to LR6 to see if the detail will make it viable upgrade for me.
    @Raid...impressive looking bird....nice shot.

    I like the color Bill. Very nice.

    I updated my new computers with the free Windows 10 last week, then I bought LR6. If you have an older system it might be good to test your hummingbird files on the system you have now because I can tell you it does task your system. A new 5Ds might mean a new computer. So far just the jpg conversion takes about 20 seconds per file on the lap top, not a SSD drive but has a fast system.

    My impression of the files so far is they are very workable but similar to the 7D II's. Also you can't use as much sharpening as older body files. Unlike the 7D II's I have noticed that I can recover more shadow and blown highlights.
