I really like the flirting one! You captured their character very well indeed. Which 150-600mm lens is it? We are thinking of getting the Sigma 150-600mm or the Tamron one.

Good set Les, they look very contrasty to me, however I think my monitor is shafted, so take no notice.....:D

I am thinking of hiring one, Just to get the feel of it for myself. At the moment when shooting i am always just a little too far away.
 
Its a heavy old lens - but hiring is a perfect way to see if it suit you

It could be the strong light Les, just that everything looks a bit overcooked colour wise. Could be me and my monitor or you and your new kit bud. Dunno for sure.

Yes It's a step up from the other I had in fact a huge step up- so much to learn though

I'll persevere - looking at a 300mm f2.8 tomorrow :banana:

I will have to use the mono-pod more if i do.

What body were you shooting with previously?
 
Lez325 said:
I had the Sony a77 SLT Mk1

The Sony a77 Mk2 is leaps and bounds above the old version - It only cost me £764

I haven't had a chance to try any Sony Cameras before (Well technically the d810 has a Sony sensor so i have i guess)

Enjoy the new body!

They look fine contrast and colour wise on mine but is there a tad of front focusing because the birds don't look as sharp as they might to me - but it is only VERY slight.
.
 
Lez, very attractive birds shots and sequence ...... I wish!!

to consider: reduce shadows, raise darks, under exposure, (caused by light conditions), maybe up to EV +1 ....... have a play with sliders and tone curve

well fertilised ground ................ looks good soil

A great sequence. I can't comment on the pp as I'm viewing one someone else's laptop. Like Alexandra I'm considering the Tamron 150-600 (eventually, when I have some money.........) but as another small lady I shall be going down the hire first route too.

It is a heavy lens and the hire route is the way to go, thanks for the comments

Les ;)
