Yeah nice indeed. Never had a sniff of shooting these. Certainly a different class of image quality now

Andrew, Perfection, you have got this one spot on. The problem you had with IS Mode, did you need to set to mode 2 because the lens was mounted on a tripod? I guess if you hand held or used a monopod you would set to Mode 1?
Cheers

You know I had a chat with a fella at Potteric who described a shot just like this he was shooting a canon with a 500mm sigma, so although I thought it could be you it wasn't.
Nice shot, my only suggestion is to reduce the contrast, do you have that set to low in camera? Good thing to do.

Hi Tim,
It was probably Glyn Hudson who took me to photograph these Dippers , he shoots with that combo , we managed to capture the same image at the same time.
Thanks for the advice , I'll have a go at the in camera settings.
Hi Andy I can confirm it was Glyn just seen his LTT on the potteric carr site, we had a chat as I had come back to take the pic at the LTT nest in the gorse bush. Nice fella.
