nice hawk in flight, Joel!, looks pretty sharp.

This is a shot (taken from my car window today)

I usually leave the camera in the trunk when I'm driving, so I would miss this kind of shots[]

JJ that last photo is fantastic mate. Great separation, colours, focus and framing. Good stuff. That 500mm is an amazing piece of glass (not that the lens makes the shot, that

thanks, btaylor, really appreciate your compliment.


yes, that 500mm4.0(well, 90% of the time it was a 700mm 5.6) proofs that more reach makes a lot difference.

I was having a problem uploading to the site then posting, the pictures never looked as good. I upload mine to flickr now and just attach the url for the photo. I do not resize it when I upload, I do the whole file. Then when I attach the URL i take the entries out of the max width and height box.

JJphoto ... I think you have a Glossy Ibis here.


I agree with you that uploading to this site seems to adversely affect sharpness and contrast .... I usually will make my uploads 800 pixels wide and then intentionally boost the contrast and sharpening more than I ordinarily would ... I save these images in a file named "Web Images".
