In reflection Eric wildlife photography is a specialist genre , the very best work is carried out by throwing extreme amounts of money at it in terms of bodies ,lenses and computer p.p ...

It can however be done on the cheap if your willing to find the ways around it which I have been forced into doing . But as you say the one thing that has proved a sticking point over the years has been digital noise

, and I suppose I'm lucky in a way having chopped and changed bodies and lenses over the years that I can look back at stuff and choose what worked best , hence my D300s purchase , as your finding sometimes the latest and greatest leaves you lacking .

The other thing I look at is the actual feel of the photo , my gut feelings is while things may have improved with these new sensors and finer detail can be resolved it's like comparing paintings by different artists a Van Gogh to a MichaelAngelo for instance both are good but in there own way

My wildlife style is walkabout and get away from other people where possible . advancing years and deteriating health made me change to MFT gear earlier this year ,it's good as you have seen but still lacking in certain respects . I suppose in reality I'm trying to get back to a point in time where I liked the work I was producing
