However, I do seem to be already getting better results than I did with my old set-up. Unfortunately, a firmware update that I applied to the new camera a couple of days ago seems to have upset its focussing behaviour and I am now waiting for a response from Canon to try and rectify the situation. Fingers are crossed!<br /><br />Best wishes - stay safe - - - RichardRichard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-55584807139693814702023-04-02T09:49:12.089+01:002023-04-02T09:49:12.089+01:00Thank you, Ana, for the encouragement - I still ha...Thank you, Ana, for the encouragement - I still have a lot to learn!Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-79371819029722547862023-04-01T16:24:12.271+01:002023-04-01T16:24:12.271+01:00Hello Richard :=) Staggering results!

Well done Richard, you have accomplished a great deal of knowledge in a relatively short time. The Stock Dove and the Wood-pigeon have never looked as beautiful. You captured their iridescence, and also the iridescence of the Mallard's green head perfectly.<br /><br />The Lesser Redpoll,.Brambling,, and Linnet are gorgeous garden visitors, I enjoyed seeing every one of your garden birds, and going back to the water birds, the Coot's reflection is remarkably sharp.All in all a delightful series of shots taken with your new camera, and I look forward to your next post.<br />My best wishes.<br />SonjiaBreathtakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883608347810648676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-1082993324862479222023-04-01T11:07:13.267+01:002023-04-01T11:07:13.267+01:00Hello Richard!!!

It's the practice where the learning takes place. And your practice so far is outstanding!<br /><br />Remember, a new (or old) camera is simply a tool for the artist (that would be YOU) to wield in creating a vision. Of course, having a quality tool such as you now possess doesn't hurt!<br /><br />Two cups of coffee have helped me enjoy your images three times now. As usual, they are each "favorites"! The rich details of your close-ups speak to the quality of that new processor, lens and camera technology. The proficiency of the photographer is still the key ingredient for success. Very nice work!<br /><br />All is well around here. I could complain about too much wind, but then I'd get a thunderstorm in answer, so I shall remain silent. We're both having fun so that's a good thing!<br /><br />Our best to you and Lindsay.Wally Joneshttps://ourfloridajournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-43263723900197639612023-03-30T04:45:33.523+01:002023-03-30T04:45:33.523+01:00Hello Richard,

The results above seem to indicate that you are getting the hang of many functions in short order, and I have no doubt that you will wrestle the difficult ones to the ground very soon. I am sure it is quite a challenge though. Congratulations on the Linnet in the backyard. That's exciting. I just scrolled back up to look again at the iridescence on the pigeons. Amazing. And that's in the early days with the camera. Imagine what is still to come! Best wishes and continued success - David David M.
