Nice shot of the bee. I wonder what's inside the cocoon!!A couple using the 70-300 AF-P VR. Both @ 300mm.
First is Bumble (B. Terrestris I think on Aqualisa. Heavily cropped.
Second is a cocoon on a dead tree trunk. It is set on a piece of peeling bark. The cocoon is 4cms wide and 2 cms deep.

Anyone shoot in jpeg or RAW + jpeg?
If so, what do you find works best in settings under Picture Control and 'additional' settings i.e. Saturation +/-, Sharpening +/-, Contrast +/- etc?

Juvie Blackbird I reckon.

As Tom says, Juve Song Thrush
Agree Jpeg mainly for Rugby and Footy due to the sheer mass of shots you'll takeRAW for birdies and RAW + jpeg for football.
Jpegs are good enough for most of the football and only use the RAW if I've got a great shot that I want to edit properly.
Jpeg is set to vivid btw
Haven't posted much lately for different reasons............Anyway I continue to be impressed with some of the results I'm getting with the D500 and Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary.
A first for me, we had a family of Greenfinches with four fledglings visit the other day and considering the weather and ISO's around the 3k mark, I think the combo worked admirably, especially as the photos were taken through our double glazed kitchen door.

Considering they're shot through double glazing, they're absolutely fantastic Simon!
There is lots of detail there.
Are these full frame or crops?
Very nice SJ, esp. as taken through glass.
That lens does indeed produce fine results.
Are they cropped at all?
I do love juvie finches, well done mate. Hope you're well.
These are brill. Your setup is the same as mine. Cracking lens for the money. I continue to be impressed by the D500
..Bit of vinegar and some Fairy Liquid and a window squeegee works wonders, may not be to the professionals standard on here.Send me you window cleaner, clean glass!! Joking aside, lovely pictures.
anyone tried the exposue setting that is suppose to stop blowing the highlights ??
whats your view on it ?
does it really work ?
I'm thinking if the whites are not blown it will underexpose the rest of the pic
maybe I'm wrong

Didn't know there is one..
I tried it but it didn't seem to stop some highlights blowing.
Have you not cycled through the metering options and wondered what the spot metering with the * option was?

not tried it yet as only see hawk once in a while so no time to fudge between settings
You can actually set up that particular metering option on a function key so that you can quickly change to that option just by pressing and holding the at function key down.
