My First Pictures Post (By Fisher Price)
Hi
 Thought i would put some pictures up, taken with my 70-300mm DG APO that landed on my Doorstep this morning. Please bare in mind that im quite an inexperienced photographer and i have NEVER handled a lens like this. I found it VERY enjoyable, finally being able to get some shots that would have passed me by with the 18-55mm Kit lens. None are amazing to be honest, but with practice this lens could be a killer i think. The 2 Macro shots were taken from about 3-5feet away. Any critique/pointers is always appreciated and taken on board. If you go back to the root of the gallery one or two of the shots are underexposure city, so ignore heheh  Focus is a little out on the Beak in this one i think, might have to sharpen that up a little in CS2.     This one was taken in afternoon light. It didnt seem so underexposed until i did a "save for web" from CS2. Guess i need to work on that a little too Posting rest as hyperlinks so people dont have to download them all. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42.../MacroShot.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...GooseWater.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42.../GooseFlap.jpg There was just way too much glare behind this one, couldnt get it right. Tried Exposure tool from RAW in RSE but it never seems to look right. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...Weeeeeeeee.jpg Only posting this one because the goose in the bottom right made me laugh  http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...reat/swan8.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...reat/swan7.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...oooooooose.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42.../Butterfly.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...ngywhatsit.jpg Pictures aside, i had a great time out there today. Nice and sunny, peaceful and lots of wildlife  (EDIT: I will also be posting this at OCUK forums as i go there too, so if you see it twice, you know why )

Thanks Joe, i saw your comments at the other place
Still havent decided where im going tommorow. Going to look for somewhere that has Birds of Prey i think. Im close to Harewood and they have recently released a lot of Kites, so that is looking promising, especially as they are in a more natural setting. Lotherton hall is close by also, which has a collection of birds. Should be fun!

They are all really good, some are slightly soft, but a bit of USM in photoshop or a sharpen can easily sort that out ! Do you do levels in Photoshop ?

Nice shots Rich bit they're a bit light and they definitely need sharpening to show off the capability of that new lens.

Yeah i toyed around with the Saturation too. Unfortunately what i was seeing in RSE, wasnt what i was seeing in any other app, so i ditched it for the time being. I did do a little sharpening in RSE also, but that is very subtle. I have CS2 and will be experimenting with them tommorow i think
Thanks for the comments! -Rich |
