BRAMBLING 16/11/2012




A few more shots of the Brambling which was again on the feeders today, hopefully it will stay for a few days so I can get some better shots when the weather improves.
These images were shot with the Canon EOS 20D and I feel they are much better than the 50D which I am still not completely happy with.
Comments on this would be greatly appreciated.

  2. Hi Monty, I don't know whether I forgot to hit the publish button yesterday or whether I got called away before finishing my comment but I definitely wrote (or started to write) one. I thought it was so amusing that you went out looking for Bramblings only to go home disappointed and then find one in your own garden :-) Well done! They are lovely little birds which I am fortunate to see in my garden some years. I hope yours stays for a while and perhaps brings some pals with it :-)

    Lovely photos on your recent Marazion post too, I particularly liked the one of the Meadow Pipit. Also, congratulations on eventually getting closer to the Long-tailed Duck, your persistence was rewarded :-)

  4. Hi Monty, As the 50D is a progression of the 20D it should be able to produce a better image. The only way to check is to take a picture with the same lens/subject combination with both camera's and compare. Also as the 50D has more mega pixels any vibration/movement/blur will be more apparent so a steady tripod/or high shutter speed will be needed. If you continue to have problems or are not sure give me a shout and I will have a look for you. Nice phots also

  5. Hi Monty, Ref your post on my blog there are settings on the camera you can adjust to compensate for back or front focussing issues, once corrected if required the camera will retain adjusted settings for the respective lens. It is fairly easy to do just make your own target for the lens under test take test shots and adjust as required. I have done it before and it is quite straight forward, google lens align should give you an idea of set up/target required
