Unidentified bird on a roof with my new Sigma 70-300 APO

I'm pretty certain it's a male House Sparrow

Just started pp'ing a few more landscapes (never been into landscapes, hence the 1DII instead of a 5D or whatever

)

I like the epic sky and foreground but the clouds abit 'purple fringy'?

Captain_Slick · 3 May 2010 at 21:17

Looks intentional.

Hi guys, only recently started doing photography, always enjoyed looking at some of the amazing shots you lot get!
I bought a d90 off a friend and i've been using that for the last two weeks, still trying to get to grips with all the settings but i'm getting there.
Anyway, here's a few pics from my flickr account, i've joined the oc uk group too.
thanks

you have only just started out?
ermm those photos are PRO ! very very good mate, if you have just started out those shots are mondblowing for a new photographer! i cant do anything like that yet, and ive been at it for about 4-6 months!

Mr Jones · 4 May 2010 at 11:16

uksoldierboy, your second shot is brilliant! Very natural and full of feeling~ Well done for a recent photog

A couple from yesterday. I didn't have a fast enough shutter speed so they are a little soft, he took me by surprise !

Beasty · 4 May 2010 at 18:48

Nice pinkeyes, I hope to be taking photos like that soon with my new lens.
Some pics from saturday morning

Excellent shots of the grey heron Pinkeyes. I was out taking a few shots of them today myself but just couldn't get anything worth keeping. Had to shoot at high ISOs due to cloud and low light to get a semi decent shutter speed but my 450d just doesn't do my images justice with high ISOs. What Camera+lens combination were you using for these? My weapons of choice are a 450d & 100-400L, but in low light it's just no fun at all.

Finally stumbled upon a jumping spider today \o/. Still getting to grips with my flash and extension tubes but i'm quite happy with this, considering how small they are. Its sitting on the edge of the D-pad on my 360 controller!

Rojin · 4 May 2010 at 21:31

Nice one! I'm still yet to see/find one of these...

uksoldierboy · 4 May 2010 at 21:55

Some nice shots there although some are a bit blurred due to too low shutter speed. Also noticed you are using ISO 100, use ISO 200 as a default as this is the normal ISO level for the D90, it will give you the largest dynamic range in your photos as well. I've found you can get away with ISO 3200 if you expose right. Looks like you've got a nice subject to practice on anyway :)

uksoldierboy · 4 May 2010 at 22:28

Thanks bruce for the advice. will try tommorrow after work.
Yeah the subject is alright lol

BruceLee · 4 May 2010 at 23:11

No worries, up to ISO800 for shots produces nice low noise images. Kit lens is pretty good, any specific Q's just ask, hopefully I can give a reasonable answer

i never get bored of looking at pictures like this. i love the fact its on a 360 pad, i can really get a sense of scale. truly awesome macro work

as a 450d user with aspirations for nature photography i share your troubles. atleast you have got some decent glass *jealous* fantastic shots pinkeyes

clintham · 4 May 2010 at 23:47

a few of my recent shots, been trying a few different PP techniques - love to know your thoughts. (by the way the toddler is my son)
