musings Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I don't think I have ever come across a bigger bunch of bird lovers as I have with my fellow Pentaxians. Personally, I try to avoid those flu-infested flying rodents, but I did happen to shoot this white pelican in St. James's Park in London a few days ago. That's the furthest extent of my bird shooting, folks.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelescu_stefan1 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hi. This is my first post, so hello to everyone. <a href="http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i308/ahetriel/?action=view¤t=IMGP2856.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i308/ahetriel/IMGP2856.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Ardea Cinerea i belive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musings Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hi Angelescu -- that is correct. The common name for the bird is "Blue Heron". Welcome, by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shots worth sharing Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I believe Ardea Cinerea is commonly known as the Grey Heron, Jeff. I like you're St. James' pelican, btw--it's a nice place but seems an incongruous location for that bird. Nice capture on the dinnertime shot, Robert.

musings Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Ah, good catch, Dave! I knew a good birder such as yourself would keep a duffer like me honest! ;--> You're right about the pelican...I had to rub my eyes a few times to make sure that was the right bird in the right place. Cheers, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacques c pelletier Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Thanks Dave, Actually, this was taken with a Sigma 100-300mm f4 APO EX DG on a K10D ! I am having some issues using this same lens with the K20D ... in spite of several attempted adjustements within the Custom Menu No. 35 (AF adjustments) , I find the sharpness not being as good with the K20D compared with the K10D! Mind you, these above were in very bright lighting conditions and all my other "tests" with the K20D/Sigma lens. Perhaps someone can help here: Is using the following: full 300mm focal length, high ISO (400-800) and wide opened diaph (f4 to f4.5) with a monopod only (no tripod used during the tests), am I heading toward disaster? I.e.: will that REALLY affect the sharpness and possibly difficulty to obtain "bang-on" AF focus? Hope this will bring some answers which would indeed be very much appreciated.

marclangille Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Jacques: a lot depends on the distance to the bird, your technique + your camera's AF accuracy. That aperture is not a large DOF, especially if you're at the longer end in terms of focal length. <BR> <BR> <i>With really long lenses, skill and technique will be the final factor in determining a sharp image, assuming the lens is a top performer.</i> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
