Hi Bruno, Many thanks for your kind comments. The info about the butterfly's wings was interesting, I hadn't thought about that aspect of their appearance.

Very interesting series of shots. I enjoyed them very much. The barn owl seems to be a darker colour than what I have seen in these birds. Thanks.

Lovely image seajunky.

Many thanks Kurt.

Beautiful shot, I like the way the path leads you into the image.

All these shots look great to me, especially the bird shots. Have fun with your new toy.

Lovely series of shots.

Its a beautiful shot.

All these shots were taken in Arizona, USA in October last year. I don't know what any of them are except the butterfly, which I think is a Cloudless Giant Sulfur. Grasshopper. Wasp? Cloudless...

Hi Yuki, that's exactly what I use, spot AF and a larger focus square. I only reduce the size of the AF square if its a stationary bird on a branch.

These shots have come out superbly. They are all terrific, beautiful colours and sharp as a tack. Well done!

Another superb series of shots Alex. Its great to see how the bird manipulates the fish. I still think you've nailed that kingfisher to the branch.

This is a great macro, even though you weren't using a macro lens. Excellent shot.

Wonderful shot Picouso, the stairs just draw you right into the picture.

Hi Florida, there aren't any bad shots in this set, all are great, but I do like the pelican shots the best. You're getting very good results from the FZ200. Good to see.

Thanks Yuki. The RDS will help a lot, but on fast movers like the swallows, its really hard to keep the dot on the bird, as they duck and weave all over the place. You just have to fire off...

Thanks Vickie, those swallows are definitely a source of my greying hair.

The hummer and turtle are terrific, all are great shots though, I just like those two better than the others. Did you have any problems with low light in some of the forests? I took my FZ150 to a...

I have found the ISO quality varies a lot and seems to be effected by lighting. I know that may sound obvious, but what I mean is this; in the two shots below, the first is shot at 1600 and the...
