Re: PESO Finch

With the K-3 I shot at 450mm with the 1.4 x converter, about 630mm, but from much further away. The sparrow pic is at 380mm, but as I said, the K-1 pics are handheld. Making it all work handheld from a bench near my feeder has been a goal. It's more entertaining for me. It's also a bit harder

Re: PESO Finch

Could be less sharp. These were handheld. The K-3 pics were off a tripod. I'll compare and get back to you. Paul via phone Paul via phone > On May 16, 2016, at 9:00 PM, Rick Womer wrote: > > Paul, > > I like both the finch and sparrow pics--both nicely composed and

Re: PESO Finch

Paul, I like both the finch and sparrow pics--both nicely composed and rendered. Methinks the images aren't quite as sharp as they were with the K-3. It is because you're shooting racked out all the way to 450 with the larger sensor, where you got away with a shorter FL on the K-3? Some

Re: PESO Finch

Both are quite nice, Paul. Pretty amazing both are handheld given the focal length. Steady Stenquist is a name so well earned. Really nice work! Cheers, Christine Sent from my iPad > On May 16, 2016, at 7:40 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: > > A female finch I’m guessing. >

Re: PESO - Finch

Very nice pose and a clean background, but I do believe it's a female House Sparrow, not House Finch. Among other differences, House Finch would have a streaked breast. On Sun, Jul 19, 2015 at 4:24 PM, paul stenquist pnstenqu...@comcast.net wrote: A female house finch — i think — in the backyard

my first thought of it was to recall Frank's image and think this could be called interactions, too... as in I didn't look so much at the picture but at the potential relationship / ongoings between the birds... jury still out on the image but it had an effect which is more than many other shots

I commend you for making a 'Feeder' shot not look like a 'Feeder' shot. Comes across quite natural - especially to those of us who really have no clue what 'natural' really is. Mostly not seeing man-made stuff in the frame. I bet you could sit there and shoot all day - I like this except for

I've been trying to figure out what to say about this image. I like the composition. A BW conversion is reasonable, but it doesn't look right. The background is blown out, as are parts of the branch, and places on both birds feathers. I hate to say it but it's almost good... Jack Davis
