That is pretty cool! How bad were the file sizes?

60-75MB each?

Toy around with em if you want. File name reflects lens used.

This will be updated with new lenses from time to time.

Hi Paolo, Any sign of moire in feather details with the 5DS-R? The digital photo had an example. Just wondering if this is anything to worry about with repeating patterns in plumage. If it is rare - which I might assume, this would be a great body for landscape and avian pics. Great shots and thanks for sharing the CR2 files.

I have yet to experience moire in nature much less feathers. If it does happen I do not really mind.

Hi Mistkäfer.
Very nice shot, beautiful colours.
Apologies for my worse (non existent) German!

Cheers, Graham.

I first thought that there was only one, but after having looked through the lens I noticed that there were many

The Common Merganser is a beautiful bird. We get a few visitis here now and then, but not many. Good catch!

Hey! We have Passer montanus out our way, in a 60 mile long, 15 mile wide strip of land along the Mississippi River in the St. Louis MO and north region. Along with our fine heritage of lager beer and symphonic society, the German immigrants gave us these birds, originally imported as pets during the 19th century. These sparrows never settled anywhere else in the US.

Hi LSeries.
Even after reading your post I still didn't notice the top of the rock was ducks, took two goes to see it. Lovely shot.

Cheers, Graham.

Thanks Click, these guys are quite common here in Cape Town, even though it's winter they are still around. I guess that with climate change we are having quite warm winter months with lots of sunshine so I'm sure they think it's already spring time. The plants seem to be flowering already.
