Watermead

The noise and furry of a large group of swans is a sight to see. It is made worse by the birds expectation to be feed. Pandamonium is let loose when some actually does feed them. Makes taking photos easier though!

It just gets better

Sparring Mute Swans

I have spent the day catching up with my processing of photographs.   I have to say the more I work with the 1D the more I like it.  Now I know I am a big chap and so size is not an issue for me but I find the camera just so well balanced, even when using a long lens.   I have just been out and took some more dandelion seed head shots.  I used the 1D and it suddenly became a much better experience.  Not only is the image processing first rate but I found using my macros lens so much better as well.   Another tick in the positive box.

Anyone for a bath?

A few more tests

Just a few more examples of the testing I have done with the 1D mkIII

The first results of testing the 1D mk III

Mute Swan

I went out to Watermead park this morning to get some experience with the new camera. I have to say I wasn't disappointed. As with any new piece of kit there are new buttons to get used to and I can't say I am proficient yet but the early results are looking good. It seems that the camera and the 100 - 400mm zoom lens were made for one another.
