These look like some good shots and that you have taken some time to find these places.

What ISO did you use and what tyoe of lens.

Seems that some of the shots have high ISO.

But that is expected for long focal lengths.

Good work!

Thanks

Great picture of this magnificent creatures. O, do I love birds. I am a bit of an ornithologist, but because of a lack of time and not being in the right place, you lose your knowledge.
Beautiful blog. Nice SWF posting.

ForestWander,
That was at ISO 400, which I normally did with 400mm f/5.6 + 1.4xTC.
The first picture was crop about 100%, so the graininess are inevitable.

Thanks Ivar and Erwin for your comments.

Pond herons are nice subjects to learn bird photography. You can get rid of camera noise through a software named Noiseware Professional.

I edited that high ISO picture with "Noiseware Community Edition", freeware and quite please with the outcome.

Gallicissa, Great frogmouth picture.

I have notice your pics have been increasingly sharper these days.. or is it becoz of new body? Me too using iso 400 most of the time on 350d body.

I enjoyed viewing your excellent images of the pond heron and little egret in flight. I particularly enjoy your comments regarding the gear and settings you use. Although I shoot Nikon, I found your expertise helpful. I've added your blog to my favorites list so that I can return often.
