Hi,
Thought I'd share this one whilst it was being processed.
I was actually quietly, tip-toeing around looking for a doe when all of a sudden this buck appeared out of the blue, or perhaps that should be, out of the yellow
Agree with Colin,can see every detail on the large version

Fantastic image quality you have captured here Justin, great colours and superb sharpness, wish my 7D performed like this, just had it calibrated at Lehmanns and it's no where near as sharp as this. Can I ask if you have used the micro adjustment?

I have to admit this is the first time I have looked into this forum, my mistake! Justin, I wonder why you did not post this shot in the fauna gallery? It is a great roe deer shot.

You certanly have got some great Roe Buck shots Justin.
I did actually answer your question in my previous post, but you must have missed it.
Yes I still use it and I'm still very, very happy with it. I usually just use the Arca ballhead on it's own when I'm photographing deer though, as it's much quicker having to just loosen the one knob, as opposed to having to loosen the main one on the sidekick, the ballhead's panning knob and level the lens, which is a little awkward and slow when your constantly on the move. Love the Sidekick when shooting from a fixed position though.
I hope you're getting on well with your Wimberley

LARGER VERSION
All comments always welcome and appreciated.
A stunning quality image, the large version looks fantastic on my screen.

Andy...
what a great shot, vivid colours
well done
Hi Andy,
No, micro adjust wasn't needed at all. The focus is spot-on with the 500mm and with the 1.4X extender attached.
Thanks for the reply Justin, my 7D issues are probably down to my crap technique
Andy...
Hope you get the issue resolved.
Well done.
Geoff.
