这只鸟和上面的是亲戚吗？

想不到D70也跑焦，焦点从鸟脸转到鸟腿上了。

现在你的图看不见，不好说。

Wow，看到了，拍得真好！

应该是相同的吧，其实网上看到的great blue heron跟你的这个更象一些，也许不同的年龄或性别会有些不同。

原来woodpecker也会啃芦苇！

如果你就站在那片芦苇丛前，你会觉得那敲击声简直可称得上地动山摇 smile

Yes, it is a woodpecker, 中文叫啄木鸟，在riverway见到几次，不知是不是同一只鸟还是它的兄弟姐妹，反正在我看来它们长得都一样：) colder98也拍到过它，显然那边是它们常遛达找食的地方。

NOD NOD。I am not that rich frustrated

Just 400mm/f5.6. Used kenko extender to hope it still can AF. However, it only can AF with the 1.5x, can not AF with kenko 2x. Some people said to tap the contact to fool the camera, but I don't know how to do it. confused

I was attemped to your 100-400 lens, as sometimes it is very difficult to look for the bird with the 400mm lens, so it can not AF with canon 1.4x? may be sometimes you can try my 1.5x to see whether third party works:)

You are so

to do manual focus, I have tried with 400mm and 2x, but was not good:-(

And it is getting very heavy if I put all my lens in the bag. You know somebody willing to volenteer to be my assistant??? Laughing

AF on 300D only works when maximum aperture reaches f5.6. For 400mm lens when 1.4x extender is used, the actually f value is f8.0. That's why you cannot AF the object. It's very lucky for your kenko 1.4x working well with your 400mm on 300D. But I don't feel abnormal if 2.0x doesn't work since the actually f value is way too small. We can talk how to fool your extender to work on 400mm later when we have a seminar in the near future.

A lot of club members are looking for assistants. smile

Some person still holds P&S camera untill he/she finds an ssistant for DSLR. Laughing

LM,

I think the bird is sharp enough, except for its beak. Why are you not so happy? unless you focused on the beak.

r418mot · 发表于: 1/10/2005 19:43 发表主题:

Its face is burred too. Actually I focused on the place connecting its beak and its face. I am very disappointed with the result.

In fact, I took a lot of bird photos using my firend's D70 but got not a single sharp image.

Hey dawn, have you gotten what I said before? LM is very picky to the sharpness. Here is the proof.

Is that picky? I don't think so. If you don't want that sharpness, why bother to have a 6 MP camera? 1M pixels are enough to you.

Hi, LM, don't get us wrong. It is a compliment! I sincerely think that your pictures are better than mine, and I sincerely hope that I can have your kind of sharpness some day... smile
