2nd of robin & last one of squirrel I really like. Good work

Jotun · 12 Feb 2006 at 17:47

I like them all, a great set of shots. The squirrel, or first robin are my favourites i'd say, but they're all very impressive.

Very nice, which lens are you using?

Richard T · 12 Feb 2006 at 17:56

Thanks for the comments guys...

Lens is 70-300is
Am still getting to grips with it

2 and 4 for me. nice collection, very jealous of the photos, what lens?

clv101 · 12 Feb 2006 at 18:50

The Canon 70-300 IS f4-5.6 is a very interesting lens, similar price to the 70-200 L f4 but with added range and 3rd gen IS. Seems to be getting good write-ups on-line and you're photos are looking pretty good.

I read some good reviews before I made my purchase

there are a few other 70-300 is lenses on this forum now

Nice shots, bet the IS really helps at this time of year

Richard T · 12 Feb 2006 at 21:06

I reckon it helps anytme to be honest

nice shots

I think they would all benefit from a touch of post processing though, such as this, that i recovered a bit of the shadows and highlights on, sharpened and ran a slight S curve on:

I know it's not much different but i think it just makes it pop a bit more if you get me? Perhaps just personal preference though

I'll take the image down if you're not happy with me having it there though.

#3 is my fav, all very nice (thanks to a great lens!) but i think number three captures the subject the best

olv · 13 Feb 2006 at 00:02

2 and 3, wow! such detail. what body are you using?

Thanks, I'm really pleased with these shots. Although I'm gutted I missed the feet of the Robin (shot 3) and the tip of the tail on the squirrel. I also need to play around more in PP... still nevermind eh. its all part of the learning process. Will go back again for the Robin as its been in the same place the last 2 weeks.

Thanks again for all the comments guys
