Thank you all for the feedback. I don't normally shoot birds at all but I'll definitely take onboard all the help and advice you've given. :) Wezza13 it was just a normal tour guided safari but hopefully one day we can go back and I'd love to take a photography workshop safari. We were very...

As above, I prefer the first. Much better than my practice attempts tonight, you seen to have more crater detail! Looking at yours i'm still over exposing (back off into the garden i go!).

Lovely image! Would you mind sharing setup/settings for this shot?

Thank you. It was taken with a canon 7d, 100-400 @ 400mm, 1/80, F8.0, iso400. I did have image stabilisation turned on as I was handholding. From reading a few guides I should be able to up the shutter speed a bit and remove a bit of the blur.

I had a little practice this evening for the upcoming blood moon/lunar eclipse. I think possibly I need a slightly higher shutter speed and definitely need a tripod!! Hopefully the clouds stay away for the weekend and I can stay awake!!

That's really handy! Thank you!!

Providing the dreaded clouds stay away I'm going to try and stay awake to capture this. I had a little practice tonight with the moon.

Mine was back in 2006 at the renault world series event, i'd not long stepped into the dslr world with a canon 350d. I didn't really know how to use it properly (coming from a 2.0 megapixel p&s) and was amazed at some of the images i managed to get! IMG_5872 by Darren Santoro, on Flickr

Very nice!

Lovely shots the both of them! Also liking your light painting whilst waiting. Do you need a good stable tripod for Milky Way shots?

Haha nope! I blame the poster above me ;) It might prompt the op to let us know what they ended up doing though.

Southy1978, oh and catsnotbabies :D

Another vote for Iceland here! The whole place is amazing!
