Taken at one of our parks when the weather was a little
warmer.
Used a Canon Rebel xsi with a 70-300mm for two of the
pics and a Nikon D7000 35mm for the female duck at top
right of pic in #3.
Hope you like them

Beautiful photos, Dale. These and the others in your postings.
I see that several are at 300mm. Great job. Are you using a tripod for these?
BC must be a wonderful place for your wildlife liking.

I also see that you are using Lightroom. I use PSE10, but have just downloaded the 30 day trial of LR4.2.
It seems very powerful and I’m looking forward to discovering what it has to offer.
I’m particularly excited about the brush functions, something I really don’t have with PSE.

Well, welcome aboard, Dale. We are a motley crew, but generally friendly.

Hi Mandrake and thanks for the great comment. I do use Lightroom for post processing and really do like the results.
I have taken a lot of pics with the 70-300mm @ 300mm and think it’s a great lens. The old Canon Rebel is getting pretty
tired now so I bought a Nikon d7000 and really enjoy using the 35mm prime with it.
British Columbia is a great place to live and the photo opportunities are endless with the changing seasons and coastal
wildlife. I’ll keep posting the pics and do hope people enjoy and welcome any input or questions because that’s what this
is all about – helping and being helped when needed. Again, thanks for the comments and keep up the good work.

Forgot to mention – don’t have a tripod so everything has been hand held with a little prayer
that camera shake will be avoided lol. So far images not too bad but I guess I should invest
in a decent tripod soon.

Silky
D7000 or D600? Either camera is a good investment so
it depends on how important the full frame is to you. For
everyday photography the D7000 is a wonderful camera
that does just about everything well.
For HIGH ISO low light photography the D600 will definitely
out perform the DX models.
I will post a couple of high ISO pics when I get the chance to
show you what you can expect – and I will post them with NO
processing – right out of the camera.

Forgot to mention – the top two pics were taken with an older Canon Rebel and a 70-300mm lens.
Only the bottom pic was taken with a D7000 @ 35mm
Not really the camera that makes the difference – unless you’re a professional and really do it
for a living – then you buy the best!
