    Sweden, Dalarna - early June 2011

    I spend 7 months in Sweden last year (3+4 months), but somehow I was always there at the wrong time of the year to see owls. So this year I made a plan to go there at the most perfect time, end of may - beginning of June, when the owls are nesting. With a huge help from the friendly people from...

    Camera Recommendations

    I agree with what David said. I think it would be extremely difficult to photograph swifts with superzoom camera. Six years ago I also started with a superzoom and once I was lucky to manage to photograph a pigeon in flight with the "pre focusing" trick, but I think that you will only end up...

    Young magpie found, help

    Since this is a post from two days ago I hope that you figured out how to give it some food already, however here are few things you could try. Since I see you are from Novi Sad I will copy/paste here a text I wrote last month for another man who also found a Magpie (I am too lazy now to...

    International Owl Conference, 1‐5 November 2011, Serbia

    @Aahzmandus Sorry because of the delay with answering your question, I was on a trip for two weeks and didn't had a chance to check this thread. Since I am just a contact person for receiving applications, I do not know an answer to your question so I will have to advice with Milan and David...

    Copenhagen

    I will also be visiting Copenhagen for one week at the beginning of June so the link with info came in handy... I had to look on google maps though where are those areas but found them all :)

    More advice on focusing please.

    Sometimes it is also good to shoot as many images as you can (before the bird flies off), and focus again few times in between shots... for example you shoot a burst of 5 images in a row, than focus again and shot another 5.. and so on (if the bird is standing and not moving so you have time for...

    Anyone actually damaged their lens?

    I never used UV on my 400mm lens, I just make sure that whenever I use it I extend the hood so I use that as protection, as Keebs already mentioned. On the other hand, I have a friend who also owns a 400mm and here are a couple of his (unusual) experiences with his lens: First he put the UV...

    Question for 7D shooters

    I apologize for off topic, but I found the solution for my problem... after I did "clear all custom func." aperture adjustmens works normal now, so there was something wrong with my c.settings.

    Question for 7D shooters

    it is strange, and I found here http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=859997 that someone was having the same problem like I do, and I tried to put the switch to ON all the way up and than turn the wheel, but still it will not change. Now I am really clueless what else to try...

    Question for 7D shooters

    Like some others already mentioned, I also use AI servo all the time. I have Canon 400mm f5.6 so I set aperture to 5.6 & ISO mostly to 400 (I don´t have 7D, I have 50D). However, recently I talked to a friend of mine, who uses 7D (and also 400mm prime) and he suggested different settings. He...

    Birding applications for windows mobile smartphones

    I see there are several threads with applications for iPhone and android, but not many for windows smartphones (at least I couldn´t find it), so I thought to make a new thread just for win mobile applications. There were several discussions regarding Collins eGuide which is excellent...

    Europe - no Serbia on the list?

    I am just curious why there is no Serbia listed in the Europe forum? I see there are surrounding countries like Montenegro, Croatia etc... Well, anyway... if you are curious to find out more about birdwatching in Serbia, here are several web sites to check out: http://www.birdwatchserbia.rs/...
