A Dunnock

All the above were 700mm, 800 ISO. tripod mounted.

And a squidger for luck. :D

This was hand held with the 70-200 2.8L, 100 ISO
 
You know the words CT ;)

1 and 3 are the pick for me - lovely and sharp. The highlight on the beak is great in 2, but i don't like the white in the background in that or 4. What caused it?

Squidger (y) too :clap:
 
Some great detail in there, ISO 800? I'm getting more and more tempted by the noise handling of Canon, if I didn't have so much invested in Nikon kit I think I'd seriously look at changing, unless of course the new Nikon line up improves.....:naughty:
 
LOL Thanks Jonny. The white background is the sky through the gaps in the foliage. I quite like the effect in No2 - not so much in No4 I must admit! :)
 
Ahhh - I see. My brain tried to tell me it was reflections on water and i couldn't reconcile it after that! :LOL:
 
I never hesitate to use 800 ISO these days Colin. I wouldn't encourage you to change, but it seems the new 1D MK3 sets a whole new standard for low noise at high ISO. And there was me telling myself I don't need one. Good job I'm skint anyway! :LOL:

Nice of you to say so Adam but it's not really so. These were in heavy shadow which is always easier than contrasty lighting. Camera was on my old Benbo - solid as a rock, and spot metering took care of the exposure - little or no PSP at all.

What you can't see is the cup of tea down one side of the chair and me fags down the other... contentment! ;)
 
great detail in the pics, oh and the last pic is my fave..... I really want to jump into the monitor and sit in your chair for a few...... days :) ahhh bliss !!
 
I think we're all in awe of your chair, CT :D Maybe not the fags though!

I really like that third sparrow shot, and the squidger (ok I've never said that before...Maybe spending too much time on this forum :LOL: ) is just so sharp I nearly pricked myself :eek:

Great shots as usual :)
