Shot today. Iso 10 000, sigma 150-600c at 600mm, 1/500th sec, handheld.
with my previous camera I wouldn't want to go above iso 1600 for this kind of shot!

It's for long exposures to stop stray light hitting the sensor through the viewfinder (which will happen if you don't use it or cover the viewfinder with a glove etc). It shouldn't be a problem not covering for normal landscape shutter speeds.

How long an exposure would cause that? Just got myself a ND1000 filter

You could always do what @Nuzik did and follow just about every member of Flickr in the hope that at least 1/4 will respond in kind. That way you've a much higher chance of getting favourites
I don't believe Neil did it to get in explore by the way, but it sure helped

I've done 30s exposures and not had an issue with light leak from the viewfinder. I don't know if it's something that occurs regularly or if it's just once in a blue moon it'll happen?

Take it of the D750 and put it on the d7100, then you ain't lost it [emoji14]

I'm not sure what the exact times would be as it's also dependant on how strong the light and if it's directly hitting the viewfinder. I've noticed it a few times, it's annoying when you only notice it on the computer when back home. Ive often held my hand near the viewfinder to shade it. This seemed to help but it gets annoying holding your hand still for tens of seconds let alone minutes. I now use liveview for landscapes so it just seems sensible to keep the viewfinder covered up with the DK-5 and not worry about light leakage.
If you Google long exposure light leak that will give you an idea what effects it can cause. It can also be caused by light leakage through the lens too.

I was explored before that. And I just followed everyone in two groups I think. I don't follow the most!You could always do what @Nuzik did and follow just about every member of Flickr in the hope that at least 1/4 will respond in kind. That way you've a much higher chance of getting favourites

Up and out early this morning and it was bloody freezing, but nice coloured glow through the fog as the sun tried to get through. Took the 24-120 this morning as didn't think there would be much to shoot seeing how foggy it was and didn't feel like lumping the 70-200 around. Couple of my dog, any cc welcome cos thats how I learn.

#1 is my pick. #2 is a little too heavy on the vignette for me. Ease it off a bit and you have a winner. Agree with Toby about the colours, really suit the frosty conditions.

Thanks Toby your very kind.
Thanks for the feedback David, now I relook at # 2 I can see that it's too heavy on vignette, sometimes when working on a pic I can loose sight of the end result. I often revisit a photo a couple of days later and have to dial it back a notch as I can then see it with clear eyes if you know what I mean. Appreciate your comment.

Nothing much I can say about this... Apart from STUNNING..
Was there much processing done for the background is it such a lovely process that makes that dog really stand out lovely..

Two "Excellent" shots Sir, with #1 being my personal fav'.

Few from YWP yesterday. I can't begin to tell you how bad the light was yesterday, and how murky it was. I've had to really push the PP on these to get them anything like half decent, but I'm still not happy. Normally I shoot wildlife at 1/1000 minimum but yesterday I was having to drop to 1/200 or so at times just to keep ISO from maxing out which of course meant some blurred images

The joys of living in the UK for the light, the high ISO kills us on times in this weather. You only have to look at the tigers mouth in the second photo to see the noise.
Why do you have to shoot these a 1/1000 minimum shutter speed, as they look as if they're just lounging around for the majority of them and large animals?

Thanks Andrew, yes a fair bit on the background to get it how I wanted it.

Because you've got fur/fine detail and noise ruins it. Plus it's a combo of high ISO and bad light.
Yeah I found I could shoot slower with these but by the time I realised what ISO I was at and changed the shutter they wandered off
It was also damp and misty so had to ramp up contrast and dehaze but it's negatively affected IQ IMO.

With most at ISO 2800-3600 and one at ISO 6400 I think he did crack up the ISO. The problem is being at f8 in these conditions, which can only be solved by using a fast f4 or f2.8 lens (with detriment to the bank balance).ive not seen many examples of ISO128000 or 256000 in conditions like these.
Look good. Considering the conditions you did well. At least you had something to take a photo of. I went to a local bird of prey centre today. Unfortunately due to the bird flu everything is kept in its aviary and flew inside only. Difficult to capture anything through the aviary mesh. I'm hoping the restrictions don't last too long and bird flu disappears soon as it's going to cause issues to these centres.Few from YWP yesterday.
