Nice shots Alan

I'll be in Dumfries late tomorrow for an overnight stay but, unfortunately, I'll be leaving early on Monday - picking up my Dad for a New Year visit to Blair Atholl and the Pitlochry Street Party on the 1st. I might try and find the time for Caerlaverock when we take Dad home on Wednesday or Thursday.

Re: Caerlaverock WWT

A couple of nice poses with the first two Alan but they are all looking a bit soft, which is surprisong given the shutter speeds you used - are they big crops

Stan

Re: Caerlaverock WWT

I agree with Stan that there is a little softness there but I wonder if it's the sane problem I have where otherwise sharp images soften on posting on this forum. Not sure I have seen any answer to this as oversharpening prior to posting introduces other artifacts.

Re: Caerlaverock WWT

I also agree with Stan.
I assume these were taken with the 7D & 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS.

Your exif only states the shutter speed. What is the aperture and ISO?
Did you shoot with IS in mode2 and camera set to A1 Servo?
Are these image taken in jpg or RAW?
Maybe that combo needs a little calibrating.

Just helpful questions.

Thanks all for the feedback.

ISO was 400 and AP was 5.6 for all images in manual mode.
I used my 7D with 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens combo.
IS was mode1 and camera in AI Servo.
All images shot in RAW then converted to j peg for processing and posting.

How do you calibrate this combo and would it affect the use of other lenses?

Alan

Just thinking could this be a problem shooting through the windows of the hide???

Hi Akan

For birds in flight (BIF) when you are panning you need to use IS mode 2.

The 7D has micro-adjustment facility which you can adjust (calibrate) the lens.
The amount of adjustment can be unique to each lens or you can adjust each lens by the same amount.
I would prefer to adjust each lens individually.
The camera remembers each adjustment, there is no actual physical change to the camera or lens.
