One last Mirror. This is one I just got in (two copies). Sigma 400mm f/5.6. I have two copies of the Sigma 600mm f/8 and they are both very soft. These are a little better, but not by much. However, with a lot of help from Topaz, these make some interesting shots due to the unique bokeh from the faster f stop. All with R8.

Interesting bokeh. Nicely done, Dragon.

Thanks Craig!

Beautiful shots, Alan.

Thanks Click, I didn't know it's up...
Edited: it looks like Alan should take the scores for letting us to know the birds are alive! Never-mind: it's as a good news as it is!

Craig has reinstated the bird threads (thanks!) so here are a few shots to get it going again. A Stonechat briefly present far away, and a Kestrel today with the RF 200-800mm on the R5ii.

We're these cropped and / or denoised?

We're these cropped and / or denoised?

All cropped so that 1 px of the crop posted = 1 pixel of original (100% crop). Just bulk standard DxO PL6 Prime output. Light was fine and that's all I use 99% of the time.

Saw a distant raptor 80-100m away so pointed the R5ii with the RF 200-800mm + 1.4xTC at 1120mm. It works pretty well and I was able to identify it as a Buteo buteo, the European Buzzard, only 400px x 500px in the image. For amusement at 1120mm, a portrait of a House Sparrow at 5m away (cropped).
