I did not say you were. I just googled so I could get more info. As for the darkness, I like it as an image. Turns out it is also called a Hawthorn Fly which kind of makes sense as that is what it sitting on.

I have had a google and you are correct. Thanks for that, I like to know what they are:)

Anyone know what insect this is? Insect on Hawthorn Bud by Paul Stickley, on Flickr

I have Oh Crap mode set up for birds in flight. I am sometimes outside with the 70-200 shooting a horse portrait or similar. It saves all that fiddling around and then it is to late because the bird is gone.

I have one gathering dust in the cupboard.

Have a look at 4.20 to see the view.

I crop. I shoot a lot of macro, mainly insects. I also shoot a lot of small birds. For both it is great to be able to crop. The depth of field on the macro shots is increased if I can shoot from further away and crop.

Watch the video at 30.00 that is one tracking option.

There is a setting to make it work in portrait. You can change how much of the screen in used and if it should move absolute or relative.

Watch from 27.20 it describes it quite well.

Also the function menu is customisable I have change a few of the out of the box settings in there. You can also set up a button to set the camera up a certain way while the button is pressed. (Reg custom shoot) I have the c4 button set for birds in flight. This means if I am out in a field...
