Show your Bird Portraits

Hello all,

Its been a while since I posted a picture...been without a camera. Getting settled with the 90D. I did have some focus problems at first (using a 100-400 ver ii). I took the advice and turned off the face recognition. I also found that the IS mode 1 worked much better than mode 3. I don't recall anyone mentioning that...would be interesting to hear if others have the same observation.

I have also purchased Topaz DeNoise AI to get rid of the 90D grain...works amazing!

Here are my backyard friends...White Breasted Nuthatch, and a Downy Woodpecker.

Regards,

CB

Your friends are my friends. It can be pretty challenging finding much else.

Nice shots - wish I had those in my backyard. I am using Noise Ninja. Haven’t found the need to turn off face recognition as iAF seems to work well but will give it a try.

The local shop has just got a Sony 200-600mm lens. It's a beautiful piece of kit and the view through an EVF was really rather nice. All reports are it's really sharp. Although it's the same weight as my 400mm DO II with the 1.4xTC attached, it seemed heavier as it is about 60-64mm (2.5") longer and the centre of gravity is further away from the body. I wish Canon would bring out an equivalent lens for us birders, preferably lighter and retractable rather than fixed length.
