Beautiful. Nicely done, Stuart.

Nice picture, neonlight.

This little grebe was all but hidden in the reeds on her nest. Manual focus of course (100-400mm II + 5DS R). One of the many advantages of back-button focus is the ability to go over to manual focus without sliding the switch on the lens.

I am really impressed by the 5DS R. Top is a 980px high crop from the full 5792px height of a female kestrel. The fps might be low but the AF is uncannily spot on an reproducible. Below is another small crop of a male kingfisher taking off having copulated with a female. A few moments later, he returns, offering her a fish. Taken yesterday with the 100-400mm II at 400mm (I am tending not to use the extender with the 5DS R).

Nice pics, particularly the kingfishers..... I find them VERY hard to get close enough to for a decent photograph..... Well done!

Ditto.

neonlight, lovely goldfinch - different colors than our American goldfinch, which is primarily yellow.

Don, you're too much!

Still slugging away on my floor repair but today I finally went out with the camera. Not much but anything is better than nothing after all the hours on my knees.

Hi Don.
Now that is just too funny, I like a lot of the humour here, thanks for the morning chuckle.

Cheers, Graham.

Are you sure you want to be Kodakrome? How about Fujichrome (or Fujikrome) ? ;D
