    Some pics from a complete novice.....

    Thank you Dave. Unfortunately it won't be the lenses you've lists as my bank account laughs at me if I even think about it :-( I will be going for a 400mm 5.6 prime when I have the finances available. In the mean time I'm loving getting out, and practicing with the camera. In fact on good light...

    Some pics from a complete novice.....

    Thank you very much for that Phil. I was beginning to worry that no-one was going to say anything. I have found a chap who has given his settings for BIF on another site. So I have managed to set C1 to those, and see how they go compared to what I've been getting. I do know that I need a better...

    Some pics from a complete novice.....

    Shot on 7D with a EF-S 55-250mm mostly at full range. I have been reading up advice from other threads regarding BIF, exposure, iso, and such. The thing is for me is that I want to take pictures that I can do realistic paintings from, so they need a good amount of detail. I do have some...

    They are good images. I do like looking at what other people can come up with creatively. Suzanne

    First Astroscope shot (840mm)

    I'm glad you posted this in the Canon section Roy. I would never have seen it otherwise, and missed the lovely pictures. For someone like me starting out it's great to see what others are doing with their set ups, and what results that brings. I appreciate you taking the time out that you do to...

    Tiger

    Thank you very much guys. This Tiger is not actually as detailed as I can do. I'll post some of my other work as an example. George, I'm getting there with the bird pics. They are improving each time I go out, and I think I have a couple I may be able to use soon! Suzanne

    Tiger

    I don't have anything really in the way of wildlife as I usually paint/draw people, and their pets. However, I did paint this Tiger in Oils. I don't see tones of colour well, so he took me along time to do. I have recently upgraded my camera to a 7D, and been snapping birds, and Squirrels...

    Have 7d, but so confused over lens...help?

    Thank you for that info, I shall have a play around to see how that works for me. I had a look at your site, and then your youtube step-by-step. Great stuff! Suzanne

    Have 7d, but so confused over lens...help?

    My thanks again Guys! Malcolm, yes this is me all over, if it's difficult I'll probably be trying to run before I can walk lol I had a go at your suggestion too, however, I found it rather fiddly to try and get to grips with. Not only did it mean that the camera was constantly trying to focus...

    Have 7d, but so confused over lens...help?

    So if this works there should be a Mallard (which I liked the best), a Goldfinch (I think, it was quite far away), a Pigeon, and my first BIF, a Gull. Nothing exotic I know, but there weren't many birds out today. Suzanne

    Have 7d, but so confused over lens...help?

    Thanks for that guys. I've been out today with just the ef-s 55-250mm as it's the longest range I have. Apart from some messing about shots I was of the frame of mind that even if I'd had the extra of the 400 I'd have been at the end of it all the time. Looks like it's the prime for me then...

    Digital Wildlife Paintings

    These are better than some that I've seen, and certainly nicer than I was expecting. The traditionalist in me still thinks of this as an image rather than a painting though. Maybe it shows that I'm now too old. Kind of like when you think Police men are too young lol The sad thing is I'm only...

    Have 7d, but so confused over lens...help?

    Thanks guys, having had a chance to use the camera today (in very dull light) with the ef-s 55-250mm I can see that I'd need to be very close to my subjects to get the type of pics I want. I was trying to get pics of Long tail tits in the trees in my front garden (which is long enough to park...

    Have 7d, but so confused over lens...help?

    I have just upgraded from my old Fuji finepix bridge camera to a 7D. I debated doing this (got confused over that, so had a thread for that too lol) between another bridge, and a DSLR. However, after considering what I was told in my other thread I was cheeky and went to a local large change...

    Artist upgrading and need advice please.

    Thanks very much guys for the info. George, for the type of portraits I usually do my work is very detail dense, therefore trying to move in to doing this with birds I'd be trying to get the same. I have a few friends with birds of prey, who in turn have a lot of friends. If bird people are...

    Artist upgrading and need advice please.

    Thanks George. Although from what I was reading I was under the impression that I'd be better off with a DSLR. Can you tell me the difference between the two, and is pixel count for the amount of detail I need (which is pretty huge) of any great importance after 12mp? I have also seen mention...

    Hi guys, I've tried using the search function to find answers, but I think it hates me :C I then tried reading through many of the thread on here, but have found it all rather confusing and over my head. Instead I have decided to ask for your help please! I am a freelance artist who paints...

    Hello [waves a hand]

    Thought I'd pop in here and introduce myself. I'm Suzanne Walsh from Doncaster, UK. I can't say that I'm an avid birder in any other way than I just love watching birds of any sort wherever they may be. I have a passion for animals in general, but especially horses. I have my own, and I train...
