As Graham says they look PDG to me!
Just shows it is the user, not the tool, that makes the difference!

One more from me. I think I have managed to get the colours about right and not too saturated as Olympus seems to like them.

Very fine rendering and so sharp.

These superb bird photographs just amaze me, I don't comment on every one, I run out of superlatives.  The standard from you all is really good, I scarcely see any of these species, yet I guess there are some around me here and seabirds almost on my doorstep.  There are almost certainly Kingfishers in the Duddon Valley and Woodpeckers I know are regular visitors to my friends garden, I HAVE seen them, I see the flocks of seabirds following the ebb and flow of the tide, I wish I had the fieldcraft and interest to get engaged with this branch of photography, it's very challenging both technically and from the fieldcraft point of view.

While I appreciate the world of nature and have always had a keen interest, I find it difficult to immerse myself is the world of nature photography.  Too many years of building rally cars and the like I guess! o.O


Do you find this easier to read?  I have selected size 3 text, I find the standard text almost impossibly small to read even with glasses.

I am off to Kenya on a bird photography quest next week will be with my friend Bob who lives there and is serious watcher of birds (with over 140 types in his garden!) and a Nikon D300 user I have posted some of his woodpecker pixs here in the past. Weather there at present bit wet so hope it clears. If I get some good material I will start a new Kenya Bird topic. I am travelling light with my D500, Nikon AF-S 80-400mm lens with x1.4 extender and for normal photography my very good and compact 18-140mm lens. So if I see elephants I will also be able to cope. Oyster Catchers below in Titchfield Haven 1/1600 sec f8 400 ISO with same 80-400 Nikon Lens and x1.4 extender.

I am in Kenya for two weeks photographing wild birds with a friend Bob who is a local expert. This is a Crowned Crane and yesterday I took over 300 images of birds from Bob's Landrover and we were able to get very close a lot of the time. It has been very wet and thank goodness Bob knows how to get through some very rough wet places. All pixs on this trip will be in my new topic Graham in Kenya. All with Nikon D500 80-400 mm AF-S x1.4 or Nikon 18-140mm AF-S' Bob uses D300 with 18-200. We are off to Mt Kenya area in morning. No promises on getting intert but will do my best.
