Down by the river

Michael Allen

Took a stroll today,


ran into a couple of neighbors




Not much going on here so I went over to the bay


and was disappointed with my sigma(still hoping for some L glass for x-mas). But this is the best I came up with on these guys. If there are any pointers anyone wants give on how to improve these for next time I go out I'd glady try. The camera is the 300d and the lens is a sigma 70-300 4-5.6(all the budget could afford at the time) these were shot in shutter priorty which usually puts me at 5.6 in the shadows anyway.


I bumped up the exposure a hair here because he was way to dark but lost the blue sky.


And the last visitor today,





Thanks for looking,

Nice set Mike. I liked the egret and the two osprey bifs the best. Could the osprey bifs take a closer crop?

This is an attempt at croping and enlarging 40% (10% at a time) The detail just isn't there, it might be me but I'm pretty sure it's my lens quality.

Yeah the crop didn't work but it was worth a try. Still it was a good shot uncropped.
