Beautiful image
Great shot Phil, those eyes are quite hypnotic...
Pleased for you Phil , glad they were waiting for you . I am still shielded so no outings for me for a while .
What a great shot. Love it!
Hoping my kingfisher does the same when we can get out. Lovely shot Phil.
“Cracking” shot, nothing more to be said.
George.
well worth the drive buddy
Les
Lovely shot Phil - glad he awaited your return mate
Russ
I'm thrilled for you Phil I know what they mean to you ,so to have this from your first trip must gave been a real treat...we'll be expecting more pics from now on then bro?
OMG nikon do 5 figure ISO who knew
Stuart..take a look at this comparison and the ISO answer is here just below the spec table.

Ok give me the juice what's the SS
Great shot, Phil.
I do see humour in unexpected situations so if you'll forgive me .....the expression on the owl's face looks as though it's thinking.."Oh..lockdown has been lifted then..pity, it's been lovely and quiet round here without you people with your pointy things..
ISO 2000.That's amazing even assuming you've put it through NR. I've noticed that Nikon posters do well re noise.
Great shot, its nice that we can travel a bit further afield now and start enjoying the countryside a little more.
Tim.
Cheers Stu, 1/1250th, f8, really I should have dropped ss to 1/1000th and aperture to f6.3, it would have halved the ISO but, we know what its like in the heat of the moment, besides Nikon can take it
Thanks John, I like to think he'd just recognised, moved into a clearing and posed nicely so I could get a few shots
And that's a great link you've posted John, it just reinforces what we already knew @Stuart Philpott
copy and paste from link
'Overall, it is pretty clear that the Nikon D500 is superior to Canon 7D Mark II in almost every way, which is impressive!' ..........
Which is a bit sad for me, Phil as I have the 7D11..lol. Never mind. I've long thought that Nikon had the edge re Noise and according to my link to Stu larger pixels (1.5X v 1.6.)better quality too. I'm doomed..Lol. When it came out you'd have thought it was the best thing since sliced bread..as they say. I was replacing the 7D. I can't change now as all my lenses are Canon..bar the Sigma 150-600.
