Oh yessssss, they are beautiful Bygum. Pin sharp and vibrant. Guess you'll be finding lots of little stuff where you have moved to.
Good luck with the birding in your new home

Thanks for your feed back guys its been a big move but now getting settled and hopefully get back into it.

Bushbird the Camera is the Canon 7D with a canon 400L prime lens

A Photo is only as good as the eyes that look at it.

Bygum, what is the f stop on that lens? One day I will own a decent lens, but it has to remain on the back burner for a while yet !

Hi Birdie yes its a dear hobby when your starting out but I am sure you will get there. The F stop on the Canon 400L Prime is F/5.6

I wish I was just starting out Bygum, then I would still think I have more hope of getting the right gear :)
Photography has been my hobby for over 20 years, but for at least half of that I was lucky enough to work for Canon so had access to any L lenses and pro gear that I wanted.

I was wondering, on these shots , did you do much post production stuff? I think from memory you use Photoshop don't you? Or are these beautiful results straight off the camera?

Cheers

lol well there you go you just never know.

On these to shots I only used levels curves shadow/highlights no color boost.

I try to make sure I take the shot right.

Very nice shots mate I am wanting to know the same as Birdie are these straight off the camera?

Ok..That is pretty much all I ever do too, though I am still learning about curves etc, I don't have Photoshop but Canon has that Digital Pro stuff, and I use that a bit.
I am a bit of a purist too, I think you need to get it right on camera .
We will look forward to some Victorian stuff then.
