Now you know someone will bite at that LoL
Its good to know it might just be settling in so to speak still seems a bit odd though but then Nikons do seem to have had a few odd issues the last couple of years
I must admit I am loving the photos it produces I am getting better results with this than the D7000 even after some heavy cropping to make up for the lack of reach, still need to practice more and learn lightroom, I need to sit down with some one as I don't seem to learn as well from web tutorials..
Another great shot by the way!
Manged to get out today. Got a couple of pics of some wildlife I'd best go put them on the d500 thread [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Not technically great ok not great but just playing and trying to see what the 750 will do, I don't think slow auto focus will be a problem though
Jack is always happy but if he has a ball or a stick he is extra happy. Mad as a box of frogsNice, I like that! Captured how happy that dog is with his ball!

I ran some tests with the D750 and D7200 using the same lens, same settings, tripod remote shutter etc etc and I got better reach with the D750 due to it being able to crop better and retain IQ. Contentious issue, but this was my findings in a controlled environment. I did get the same results (ie the D750 better after cropping) in the real world shooting birds too.Now you know someone will bite at that LoL

Nice shot but there's one glaring error, you've used f5.6 instead of shooting wide open. I didn't even know my 70-200mm f2.8 stopped downwalk-0164 by Ian Caldwell, on Flickr

It'll still be nice on the D500Lovely image that..
lookes like the D500 and the 70-200 2.8 VRII a good combo as I been thinking of getting that lens very soon I know it a excellent lens was just thinking wether to get a different Length..
Edit
Ignore me though I was I. D500 thread lol

Nothing wrong with those two above imo. Just something to bear in mind with your consideration with the D500, you're not going to get the same level of subject isolation in shots like the horse running. You're only at 130mm so not needing the extra reach of the D500 and so not going to gain the subject isolation by using a 'longer' focal length.Was really struggling with sharp images today. I am not sure why. They have come out so different from the hunt photos the other day. No idea why. Maybe it was the light or just pure user error
Same camera, same lens... frustrating day.
There's some muppets in the worldA few from a localish country park, (except the dogs which was at home)
Amost had my best ever kingfisher shot today. Light was perfect, then some turd had seen it and tried to get close with their point and shoot. oh well.

Ifthats the only glaring error I am a happy bunny LoL (to be honest I forgot to reset the ISO from the last time I used it and 2.8 had such a fast shutter I thought that can't be right but forgot the iso rookie mistake again Doh!! )Nice shot but there's one glaring error, you've used f5.6 instead of shooting wide open. I didn't even know my 70-200mm f2.8 stopped down
Yeah I edited my post earlier as I saw you have the f4 lens It is frustrating when a shoot doesn't go to plan but I'm sure you'll figure it out and learn from it@snerkler I can't afford to accidentally stop down to anything other than F4 lol
There were some worse photos, was having trouble with the sun and shadows and lost so much detail in some of the others.
I can probably try blame everything else but need to understand it's probably user error!
Love the robin, I don't know why but I have never been able to get a decent photo of a robin, always to far when I see them out and just don't get them in my garden.A few from a localish country park, (except the dogs which was at home)

Much better. Not tack tack sharp, but sharp enough and a lot better than the first. You really need to go to specsaversnuthatch 2 by Mark Kingston, on Flickr
not sure if my eyes are on the way out!!!!!!! is that one any better
Just checked the camera to make sure ive turned it of.Much better. Not tack tack sharp, but sharp enough and a lot better than the first. You really need to go to specsavers

We only want one for super fast af for wildlife shots and the extra reachAll these good pics being posted and everyone still wanting to get a D500.

Jj, are you using matrix metering for these shots?
Does anyone know a way of selling photos or having some sort of store or using a website that takes a small cut? I know photobox used too, not sure if they still do.
Nothing wrong with those imo. Were many scenarios like the first shot, and if so where were you focussing? The reason that I ask is that the horses are getting close to being silhouetted and as such there's not much contrast for you AF system and if you were focussing on the horse rather than the rider then this might be why you struggled.As everyone is LOVING the horse talk today...just a few more...

Map my ride had this one at around 30mph... this horse can run!
