Wow! very nice set.  The colours are outstanding.

#2 is outstanding.

Its the rapper of songbirds? :-)

Very nice.  I really like the first one.

I'm in the same boat as you, looking for a good budget monitor. The ASUS PA278QV seems like a decent budget display. It is factory calibrated. Not UHD if that is what you are looking for though. I ...

Thanks.  I also find that the raw images from my G9 are often a little flat and had wondered if this was my camera setup or just how the tech works. I also wonder if this has something to do with ...

You are on a roll lately.  Number 2 is outstanding.  Looks like a missed strike by the bird.

Very striking bird.  As usual the colours are very good. Are you doing things to touch up the colour, vibrance and such or is this close to what comes out of the camera?

Like!!  I love bug with plant shots like this.  Definitely poster worthy.

That's one way to put it I. :-)  It's more of an artsy shot I guess. I continue to be amazed by what you can do with newer cameras.  I was impressedthat the camera was able to focus in on such a ...

I am continually amazed at how well some here can track fast or erratic fliers. I love the second shot.  The dragonfly really pops when the image is full screen.

With the G9 there is not time for another sip during startup, so no need to have the camera on all the time. I shoot from presets that get me to a default starting point for whatever subject I am ...

I also shoot mostly perched birds, but would like to venture into BIF occasonally. I have used most of the g9 settings recommended in that article.  I do have af set 4 customized to: AF sensitivity +2

I also find that single point focus works much better.  I still wonder if animal detect interferes with single point focus at times as I occasional get inexplicable focus results. What are your ...

I had been wondering why the in camera histogram varied so much from what I was seeing in my image editor.   The image editor always shows a histogram shifted considerably to the left. I read a ...

Number 3 is the money shot. #1 there is too much contrast in the background for my taste.  The dark patches are a little distracting. #5 has a weird halo going on around the branch and bird that ...

Nice shot for a bit of fumbling.  The slight motion blur does not bother me in the slightest.

I was trying to get a few shots of a bumble bee pollinating flowers, but it was not cooperating much.  I did manage to get this shot thought a bunch of grass. I really like the way the plane of ...

The nerve of those birds not giving us the perfect pose. The picture would probably be a little nicer without the out of focus branch, but it really doesn't detract that much from the image.

I agree with others, that last shot is special.
