Phal's house of pics

Some more highish ISO examples from a walkabout outside yesterday after I got home with the camera. All have noise reduction etc

ISO 2000 + 1/250 which looks funny with a little head shake

Having a little much - ISO 2000 and 1/250 again

Sun was already down over the nearby hill so this was in the shade

ISO 2000 and 1/500 exposure

Buzzard I think? Seemed to stir up the locals

Few shots from a mate's American Football game. Only the second field sport I've shot following last week's touch Rugby and this is definitely very different to shoot and more difficult imo!

It's a lot messier and there's more people blocking the action etc. It's a lot easier to lose the ball too :\

The field was a fair bit bigger here than the touch Rugby but the 200-400mm lens was still a bit too long. It would be a lot better on a 1Dx or maybe a 5d3 but then the buffer would suck :( The zoom is still handy but 200mm on a crop still goes a long way! I often stepped back away from the side line when the action got close to give myself more room.

Weather was good so didn't have to worry about high ISO too much although I was still shooting a bit higher than I would have with my 70d.

Minky picture has 3,349 views so far today :| lol

Clearly fluffy animals are more popular than Kite surfers since my last (and first explore) topped out at about 2100 views in the 24hrs
 
Really like that last shot, golden hour galore!

Ta :) When I left the house in the morning I was a bit gutted because the sky looked awesome but I didn't have time to go anywhere before work.

This view isn't great but since it's just round the corner from work I had to make do but I'm quite pleased at how it turned out.

On a different note, the Mink picture topped out at 7617 views yesterday so that's a new high for me lol
 
It was put on the Explorer list for yesterday so that tends to generate a bit more traffic :)

Definitely a lot more views on this shot compared to my last (and first) Explored pic but when I check some of the other shots in the list and see figures like 25k views, it puts it into perspective lol.
 
I was near the BWC again this weekend for my work xmas party so I popped in before it started :)

It's quite hard to get good pics of the Scottish Wildcats there because they're behind a mesh that you can't get close to so it tends to interfere with the AF quite a lot. I managed to get a few shots from the side where the metal fence is a bit wider

I liked the expression here

Here I was able to get quite low down since I could walk quite far away from the fox down a little slope and shoot through the fence there. Shooting into the sun a little made it a bit hazy but it's cool :)
