On Friday afternoon I enjoyed some more cloudy weather and before my walk and again had a few good chances with one of the local Ospreys. I have been trying to use ISO 8oo more with my 50D to check out the noise. I am finding that the noise is best controlled by pushing the histogram as far right as possible (as I did here).
This Osprey was photographed with the handheld 400mm f/4 IS DO lens and the EOS-50D. ISO 800. Evalautive metering +2 stops off the sky: 1/2500 sec. at f/4 in Manual Mode.
I went out a bit this morning as the sun attempted to break through the clouds. I saw a flock of Wild Turkeys with two big toms displaying but they were in a horrific spot with cars and sheds in the BKGR so I drove away and scouted a bit. When I returned, they were in much better position.
This image was created with the Canon 70-200mmm f/4L IS lens handheld at 135mm. ISO 800. Evaluative metering at zero: 1/1600 sec. at f/4 in Av Mode.
Images were distorted on Safari before but are fine in this post. Seems as if bugs keep appearing just to keep us busy.
Thanks Elinor. I think that I have the distortion problem fixed thanks to David Kennedy. Now we have to find a way to make the images larger before we adapt a new theme (template).
I’m using Firefox 1.5.0.9 on Linux CentOS. Works fine, starting the image
of the Turkey. Previously distorted.
