Sparrowhawk today. First time i've ever seen one in the garden which was nice!

I've been up early recently down the marshes to make use of the light. Few Spots.

Been playing around with ND filters for my Sigma 30mm on the a6300. Fantastic lens and really seems to shine on the Sony.

Fwiw, I managed to have a go with the 70-350 on my a6300 this morning, and the difference seems quite large. Auto focus was faster and much more accurate than when using the 200-600, and the image quality also seemed much sharper due to a lot less 'soft focus'. The less range also didnt seem to...

Thanks, that's really useful. I think my conclusions are leading me to move on the 200-600 and pick up a faster apeture lens with slightly less range, which I'd lose anyway with a new FF Camera. Bonus being it'll save me a bit of cash, whilst still leaving loads of room to continue the...

Really great info thank you. I guess my last thought is if it comes down to whether the a6600 or a7iii handle high iso better than the 6300 can for my low light photography, otherwise it feels sticking with the 6300 is probably best for now.

Ok, thanks for that update. Seems a tough choice. A faster AF would be good for in-flight birds, but i guess my main gripe is that the a6300 seems to produce really noisy images in anything less than bright daylight. Attached is a couple of shots of a gull unedited. Whilst the focus isn't...

Thanks all. I think the a9 is probably a bit too much. Looking at the a6600, reckon that's going to give a noticeable improvement on AF and low light on the big lens?

Hey, Currently using an A6300 with the Sony 200-600mm (5.6-6.3), which seems great for static birds on sunny days, but it really seems to be struggling with AF on moving birds, and in low light situations. Thinking of upgrading to an A7iii (seems significant over the ii) as I'm starting to...

Thanks all. Good advice on the edit Les / Russ, it is very noticeable on the under feathers. I'll have to start playing around a bit more in lightroom!

Ah good spot! Will give it a quick look. I was kind of going for the 'moody blue' approach, but I'll certainly take a look in lightroom with a bit of exposure lightning. Thanks!

Yeah it's mad isn't it. looks quite dangerous!

First time taking the camera to the beach to try some windsurfing, but not a lot of people around. Windsufer by Benjamin Gray, on Flickr Windsurfer Blue by Benjamin Gray, on Flickr

Had a lovely walk around RSPB Medmerry the other day, though it was a little cloudy and windy and forgot the monopod! Lots of Herons and Egrets wizzing around. Heron Heron by Benjamin Gray, on Flickr Flying Heron by Benjamin Gray, on Flickr Egret Egret by Benjamin Gray, on Flickr Flying...
