m. goodwin Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · GBH The GBH has proven to be a difficult subject for me to get good shots of, I hope these suit your taste. marty Edited on Jul 04, 2009 at 07:10 AM · View previous versions Jul 04, 2009 at 06:56 AM

Dave Good Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · GBH Some fine captures of one of my favorite birds Marty. I really like #2, but the in flight shots are very good also. They are hard to expose for under harsh sunlight, good shooting! Dave Jul 04, 2009 at 12:40 PM

GAREN Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #4 · GBH You have done well Marty one suggestion will be to use selective sharpening and use noise reduction on the background. #1 could use both Garen Jul 04, 2009 at 03:19 PM

WetFootWes Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #5 · GBH Perhaps using a flame thrower like a Better Beamer would have helped with 1 & 3, unless they are heavy crops and the distance would have been too great for one to have done much good. Other than that it is as Garen suggests. Were 1& 3 shot on overcast days? Wes Jul 04, 2009 at 03:42 PM

Honest feedback is a good thing. #1 is a tight crop, I use L/R and did the best I could with it. It is noisey but I liked it enough to post. These are the best I have for now. Just back to photogaphry after a long absence. Digital newbi. Thanks again. marty Jul 04, 2009 at 04:35 PM

Wes Appreciate the response, #1 is the only heavt crop, and was shot on a very overcast day. # was shot very late in the day. marty Jul 04, 2009 at 04:37 PM

Karl Witt Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · GBH Marty, you are certainly finding your subject with no problem and tracking your in-flights nicely It is obvious that the first is a heavy crop, sometimes on a shot like this just give it more room in the frame which will allow it to hold more detail for you. #2 looks very good and you can see how good light is going to be your best friend. You will also notice the ones flying over the water will benefit from the reflected light from the water helping fill the underwings on exposure. #5 is a gorgeous shot, nice on Marty! Keep at it, watch your contrast levels in processing. You are doing a great job and improving each time as I see it Karl Jul 04, 2009 at 04:45 PM

Keep at it, watch your contrast levels in processing. You are doing a great job and improving each time as I see it Karl Thanks very much, Karl. I have learned quite alot posting and viewing at this forum. I realize that some shots are better than others, but the honest feedback really helps solidify in my mind what to try for. I have so many shots that were taken without any thought on how to set up to use the available light to my advantage. This is quite a challenging endevour, probably why I enjoy it so much. Here is a looser crop of #1. All my wildlife shots are with a Sigma 50-500. marty   Canon EOS 50D    500 mm    f/5.6    1/800 sec    200 ISO    -0.7 EV   Jul 04, 2009 at 05:26 PM
