what lens are you using for those bird shots?
i'm trying to figure out what to get for telephoto nature/bird. i'm thinking it will probably end up being around $1000 for the lens unfortunately- still not exactly sure what to get, dont want to spend more than that although i know it would help.
I was thinking either the sigma 150-500 (usually $1050 or so) or the canon 300mm f4 L+ a teleconverter. (lens is usually $1100 + ~$200 for a teleconverter)
I use the Nikon 70-300 VR (and crop a lot). If I was serious about wildlife photography and on a budget I'd probably go for a 300 f4 with a 1.4tc. That being said, I'm not serious about wildlife and have no idea how good the Sigma is. The one thing I've heard is that longer is always better.

Don't want to clog up the thread with a bunch of un-finished images, but i took a bunch of pictures of the Seoul Int'l Auto Show.
they're straight off the camera (only been resized cuz they're annoyingly large to upload), and i've been super busy with studying for exams to get around to developing them.
it was also kind of annoying switching between my 24mm and my 80-200, so the bulk of them are just model shots, and the couple car shots are a bit far away and will be re-cropped so that they're a bit better.
all are manual exposure/WB/focus

Your foreground seems a little soft, Cosmic.
In other news, I blasted out a 94% total on my practical darkroom class. One of my prints scoring a perfect grade. I am drinking the beer of celebration.
In May I'm starting Advanced B&W Photography. Gogo zone system!

Nice work Elvis!
I fucked up the focus a bit for the foreground and I didn't set a narrow enough of an f-stop. I was hungover when I took it so I forgive myself haha

The exposure is atrocious on that last pic.
Some pics from a wedding I assisted with
This pic is wrong in so many ways. I would love to send that one to the womens lib.
No it isn't, its right in so many ways.

Going to the races and not betting on the horses is like sucking a tit through a sweater.
bane, did you touch up that 2nd bird pic?
Just seeing a dark line on the head, neck and then on the lower body as well.
