Great photo! I would hate to be on the receiving end of that talons. Makes me appreciate where we're at in the food chain!

Yeah, I hear you. Neither talons or beaks are good for voles:

The guys were out and about 4.22. Finally had some time since last Nov. to try the 5D out. Have determined that the 1.4xii really shows its flaws vs the 2xiii.

Unfortunately, not my backyard; otherwise, I'd post images of the five-kits, that I didn't see in my short visit. That softness in the OOF areas is due to shooting at ISO 12800.

Terry989 · 04-30-2018, 02:19 PM

That is one long legged fox! I'm always afraid to up the ISO, but not doing so means that you sometimes miss the shot. I don't think I have ever shot over 1600, guess I'll need to experiment more!

My Sony a9 and a7RIII are way better at high-ISO than my Canon's were, but I've still shot my 5D MkIV at 26400, with good results. I've gotten rid of all the chromatic noise in the fox shot, but there's lots of luminescence left and bringing that down crushes detail. It's interesting that I get good detail in the in-focus areas, but the out-of-focus areas are smeared. This is after noise reductions with DxO PRIME noise reduction.

3200 ISO, I don't even think about it anymore on any of my newer bodies.This is from my X-T2

Nice clean image - - - now I'm motivated to push the ISO when required. I've always liked the wines at Kokomo, and a plus that they're great people!

It's gosling season!

My very favorite winery. Ross runs the best tasting room in Dry Creek Valley in my opinion. Their Pinot also just got the first ever 100 point score at the North Coast Wine Challenge (then promptly sold out!). I drained my bank account getting a couple of cases of this Rose before they sell out of that as well

Great gosling shot!

The parents were mostly accommodating. A little head lowering, hissing and bill snapping - - - but no geese, goslings or humans were injured for the photo.

Understood Dave. Your Colorado coyotes have a lot more meat on their bones than ours.
