What a load of cr*p, I print A3 mostly for competition, so not doing pictures justice on your own printer, thats a new one I'd agree in principle, but I guess you do need to know a bit about colour management, and calibrate your monitor and use the right printer profile and all that technical stuff, or you can end up with some very strange results... But doing your own printing does mean that you can run off a few test prints and get them looking exactly how you want. Most of the new photo printers that are around £-100 give excellent results straight out of the box, but you do need

You have my deepest sympathy Canon all the way here If anyone's interested in an Epson 2100 A3 photo printer complete with continuous inking system (no more buying Epson cartridges to fill it up at £90 a go...) PM me before it goes in the skip...

Is it that time of year already? There'll be baby birds frozen in the nest - as usual... Nice pic.

Nice shots Kay. I don't like slobbery dogs either!

Oh right, don't think I've got round to loading the canon software yet...

How big are they? Some of them look quite pretty Can you eat them??? I guess you'd need a lot

I don't understand what you mean by periferal correction thing Does it only work for canon lenses? WTF is it anyway? I should know this stuff, shouldn't I?

Excellent shot

Cracking shots, that robin looks like he's singing his little heart out! -
Love the last pic of the heron.

Nice shots Kay. The little grey pony is very cute

thanks kay , i always seem to miss some really good sunsets but had the camera this time as we had took the kids sledging . that looks lovely tallyho! great colours there cheers main man I feel something when i see pictures like that! makes me think how other people see things! do we all see the same thing do you think? or do some people see things differently?? It's nice to find people who appreciate beauty in nature Alas, some people just can't see anything beyond the next soap opera and the end of their nose...

Did you miss something? Oh dear... NO, it probably wouldn't register the siggy, or the Tamron, but I doubt you have a problem with vignetting (if that's what you meant) with either of those lenses? Don't worry about it - I had a look at specs & your camera doesn't seem to have the AF micro adjustments anyway. You can still test the lens focus by faffing about photographing rulers at 45 degrees or targets at measured distances. Life's too short though, innit? I have tried 1/30 at 300mm... it doesn't really deliver the goods but it's slightly better if I rest long lenses on

Happy Birthday Old boy

Always the way, Isn't it?

Ah, the perils of having a camera with millions & millions of mega pixels... I'm disregarding the 7D as a new camera option because of the noise issues With the 500D 800 ISO is probably about as much as you can get away with, even then best to stick to 400. For birds against a bright sky spot meter on the birdie - it doesn't matter if the sky is a bit blown as long as the main subject is ok. At 1/250th of a second at over 200mm you barely have enough speed to guarantee no camera shake, remember that the speed should be at least equivalent to the focal length of the lens to be

Brilliant selection of pics - it must have been great to have clear views of so many different animals, unlike most zoos here where they always seem to be hiding. I like the underwater croc one, and the red panda is cute too Thanks for sharing

A bit too close for photos! Nice one
-
Nice shots, some of your best so far I think It does look like you needed a bit more speed though - little birds are constantly making tiny fast movements, so you need at least 1/500 to be safe... Hard to tell from pics this size, it could be that the focusing is very slightly off? Might be worth checking the focus on the lens? Does your camera have AF micro adjustment settings? (It'd be in the custom functions) If so you can set the camera up for a particular lens if you do find it back focuses. If you turn the ISO up too high you'll probably find that the camera will over-expose

out for a dander this morning...

Nice pics, I like the cobweb. The water pic is nice, but I'd straighten it up, crop the bottom half off & maybe turn the contrast up a little. I reckon it'd make a lovely panoramic shot -
Are there any good farming forums about?
