No worries, yeah a crop would be great thanks.

Any chance of uploading the full 40mp version? I'd love to see what the H2 sensor has done with the scene.

It's been a long day...

In my few months with the H-S2 I've come to the conclusion that subject detection for birds at least just isn't very good. I have far more success turning it off and just using the normal CAF. Happ ...

Echo the positivity on here already. It's my favourite lens, very sharp, very versatile, fun to use, fast and accurate single point focus, CAF not so much but still pretty good. Works really well ...

Nice birdies and well done on the subtle use of AI noise reduction. So, so much better than smudging all life out of an image and turning it more into a CGI render than a photograph.

I really like 6 and 7 😄

I thought it was and there's nothing wrong with using Topaz or any other solution. I just really hate it when everything is smoothed to hell and back. Your usage is measured and subtle, which I ...

Honestly, it's just nice to see a bird today that hasn't been Topaz-ed to death at 100%.

I can't see that anyone has asked about the conditions of the day. What were they like? What time of day was it? It looks pretty overcast and a bit misty, which will obviously effect things like ...

You seem to have missed focus on a few of these bob

Viewed on Mobile. Looking on desktop these appear to have had huge amounts of noise reduction applied which is less to my tastes. Still nice moments captured though.

Some of the best bird shots I've seen on this forum, great photos!

This was a shoot from the hip job, as I'd been eyeing up a squirrel behind me but yeah, the original is massively over exposed as a result of the settings being off. This outing was really a ...

Thank you Jim.

I initially mistook the 'deposit' for an antennae or something too! Lovely photos.

I've been messing around with the subject detection settings on my newish X-H2S, with varying success. I've found it tends to over expose a lot of time, which I understand the logic behind with it ...

Haha, small world!

If I had the cash I'd definitely get the 200 f2 and 1.4. I can't justify that purchase without a lottery win though, haha.
