Much appreciated. I had a zoom attached when I saw it, and was barely at the minimum focusing distance.

Managed to get a short vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVxMkjjpGgg

Hopefully not a faux pas.

Awesome I never thought of that. I just got "exif reader for chrome" when I hover on a pic it displays necessary info. Win.

I think your advice about the diagonal is stuck in my subconscious.

Another dragonfly. This is a crop:

What am I doing wrong? All of my shots seem to be soft. Maybe it's my lens, or the old camera. Or is it me?

Shot was taken at 11pm and it was 92*. I can see the heatwaves \:\(

Probably a combination of the heat/old body/shit ass lens

Please don't say that. I used my Sigma 50-500. I know it's no l- lens but it's the nicest I have.

What % of the original image is that shot above, what f/stop and what are you doing for post? Are you shooting RAW?

Don't forget, heat waves are real, so there's no lens in the world that will get rid of them.

cheers,
scott

Iirc it was F/11,1:250,&500mm. Shot in Raw. I suck at post, so I cropped. Cropped pic was really about 600x600 pixles. I sharpened. But when I tried to lighten it, all detail was lost. I also tried the unsharpen mask but I'm not sure it's ant better.

I could see the heatwaves across the moon clearly on my LCD screen the other night. Especially at 10X zoom to check focus. I used the fastest shutter speed I could (1/4000).

Bob - The pic gets noisier at 5,184 X 3,456.

My opinion about animal shots is that you need to catch them doing something specific to who they are or you need eye contact.

Getting a squirrel sharply focused in the first place is a challenge, so good job on that score. I took maybe 20 shots of a rabbit the other night and maybe 4 are halfway sharp and only one has good eye contact.

cheers,
scott

How about a baby giraffe racing an Afican crane?






Adding this pic to show where he was running:




Thanks for the advice, Scott.

That's pretty sweet. If you make a separate layer for the fence, you can hit that with a small gaussian blur (say between .7 and 1.5 ish) that will make it almost disappear.
