p.1 #1 · Greylag geese (6)


Took the day off work today and headed to a couple of my local ponds. The early morning trip was reasonably productive although the light was poor and there was still some surface ice around. These were the biggest of the birdies in or beside the water.

Nice shots in poor lighting conditions David. BG noise is quite noticeable. You can remove it with PS or any other NR programs.

Good looking geese, David.
No.3 has thyat eye-to-eye with a bird which always works well.
As Jude has mentioned, the last one shows abit of ISO noise which should be very easy to clean up.
Also, the last one has the best background blur and subject isolation.....I don't know if that is due to the geometry of the shot or you opened up the lens.

The whites look a bit overcooked! The last image stands out. Don

Thank you Jude. My ISO was up at 1600 due to the poor light and the 1.7TC probably also contributed to the noise. I'll try and fix that.

Thanks Peter. The last one was on full zoom with the lowest f stop, hence the nice bokeh.

Thanks Don. My LCD flashed a bit with the whites and I tried to recover as much as I could but you are right, they are still a bit hot.

Nice ones David...I like the last the best...one of the advantages of a laptop and getting old is that noise is much less noticeable
