I see you're really having fun with your new toy. Great shots Isabel. Keep up the good work.

Hi Neil, well, if you click on 'original' to view the full-sized version of the image, take a look at the wooden posts behind the squirrel... the noise is showing up there most prominently; look at the fur in general on the squirrel's body and tail, lots of definition there getting killed off by NR and ending up with a water-color look... this might be ok if it was iso400 but it's an iso100 shot taken in decent light.

Just seeing what I'm seeing :---

Howdy neighbour!

Beautiful evening we're having, aren't we? Boy, I sure can't wait for summer weather so I can spend more time outdoors taking pics!

Well, take care and say hello from me to the missus and the kids!

That better? ;)

The plant in front of the squirrel is what is in focus. That is very detailed.
 
It's hard to tell, it looks to be focused on the squirrel's right paw, which seems to be on about the same plane as the left-most leaf. I don't know what the distance to subject was but at F4.0 and FL of 36.8mm, if I guess distance to be about 10ft for example, that gives you a little less than 1/2' DOF for near and 1/2' for the far limits, putting the rest of the squirrel into acceptable focus. If you look at the tail, which is probably the farthest away from the leaf or paw, it still seems to be in focus.

We have lots of white squirrels in this part of Western North Carolina.

What's fun to see is when they mix with grey squirrels.

Here are a couple I've caught:



(taken with a 2.1 mp Olympus Uzi)
And here's one with an 8mp Canon dslr and "L" lens:



And here's the subject picture of this H9 thread, resized down, squirrel further sharpened (since original was taken a + sharpening) and foliage behind fence blurred:



and dare we compare the H9 image to one from an $1100 300mm lens?



I think it compares very favorably.

It sure is nice to be stalking these creatures with a nice lightweight, long zoom camera, rather than the 4 lb. Canon combination with no Image Stabilization!

Each camera has its own strengths.

I know the H5 won't be my low light camera of choice, but it sure will be at the top of my "fun" birding and squirreling" list.

Is that the trough, or is your trough? Congratulations, Isabela. Great and beautiful photos.

No, it's THE truth! Everybody can see that the picture is very soft an there is not much detail in the squirrel's fur . But I don't want to put somebodies work down. The picture is nice and well taken. But I do expect more from the camera! For me it's to soft!
