Some photos from the countryside today

Common Blue Butterfly

This would have been a blinding shot had the blade of grass not got in the way, then it flew off milli seconds after this... not bad for a Canon G9


My girlfriends horse, Coffee


Baby after mommy in the stable, too much cgrass and she's getting fat!

The beach below was gorgeous, lots of potential

A bit of patience stood near the nest box paid off....

It's a lovely shot, but it seems a bit flat? I can't put my finger on it

Perhaps it's a little warm, there is a bit of a colour cast to it. I'll have a tinker later tonight.

Quick tonal tweak and a little nipple twist on the curves...

What time was it taken?

rox0r nice shots mate. done using your 70-200mm? do u have any pics of using that lens in low light, no flash and with IS enabled?

can you post a few please? debating on buying that lens

[rox0r]

What time was it taken?

Late afternoon.

[rox0r]

Sory Josh I don't really have any 'low light' handheld shots with it, the only occasion I'd have for those conditions would be indoors and the 70-200 isn't really the beast for that job as I have the Canon f2.8 17-55 in the bag instead.

Todays is a Common Blue butterfly

I think you need to use different setting to save your images for here Dave. They have the potential to be great, but I think the jpeg compression artefacts are ruining them at the moment...

[g8ina]

Really ? Maybe my monitor has a different setting, but to my (slightly short sighted) eye, I cant see any.

I'll redo it and post the two together, see what difference it makes. Compression was down to 70% BTW.

[stavroshamster]

Yeah - it's particularly bad on my screen where there is a sharp transition in colour e.g. between antenna and flower, and flower and background.

ahh ok. a bit strange you bought the IS version though if you dont use it? the None IS version is half the price
