-----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Tim Øsleby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 27. marts 2006 18:04 Til: [email protected] Emne: First "Canon" bird shots. On Topic ;-) I have been adviced not to use the word crap in the headline. I found the word Canon an appropriate synonym. In a way the Tokina lens _is_ a Canon. After seeing the results the Tokina makes, I am not sure it qualifies for the "crappy lens, bird shoot competition" When used within the limititations it performs pretty good, IMO. This first shot is not a stunning picture. But thinking of my limited skills and the cropping I am surprised by the quality. There is a tighter cropped version there to (simply click on the thumb below the picture). I could need some help on the cropping. I find it hard to make a good composition. http://foto.no/cgi-bin/bildegalleri/vis_bilde.cgi?id=227325 Tripod, lightly tighted (my spellchecker doesn't like this word, is it correct?). istDS, 400 ISO raw, Tokina AT-X SD 150-500/5,6 @500mm, f:11, 1/500s. Adjusted contrast, saturation, and sharpened plus cropped in RSE. What do you think? BTW: I will probably add another with later tonight. I find that shot more interesting.
