Coal Tit
Hi
Had a little time to try out my new lens today, the light was poor, but the ISO capabilities on the D7000 coped well, Coal Tits are real "smash and grab" bandits at the feeding station, but captured this one,

Thanks for looking
Dave

think you need to post it a bit bigger. go image, image size ensure constrain proportions is ticked and then type 700 on its longest side. when you save ensure you keep the file to under 200kb and you will have a perfect sized picture for this site. add a large is the same but 1200 and 500kb size ...

Comp looks good if squint

Agree with Phil re the size, I can't really offer any critique at this size. What's the new lens, Dave ?

Andy... :smile:

I agree with previous comments. At 400 pixels on the longest side (the size posted) It is impossible to tell whether the image is sharp. It would also be useful to have the exif exposure and lens information, as we cannot tell how well the D7000 has coped from the information you have provided. On this site you can post up to 720 pixels on the longest side, and up to 1200 for an optional larger picture.

They say size isn't everything, but I suppose there is an exception to every rule. :biggrin: :wink:

Agree with previous comments - give me a shout if you need any help (pete@uknaturephotographers.net).

And yes, definitely agree with the 'smash and grab' description!
