  • House Sparrows

    Sitting in the garden this loverly sunny afternoon just shooting the house sparrows with my old Olympus E-1 and 70-300mm, who needs the latest and greatest gear.

    E-1 & 70-300mm, raw processed in CO6.









    Regards Paul.
    One day I hope to be the person my dogs think I am.

    Hi Paul -

    How pleasing to see.

    The E-1 I think will be a classic in time - it takes such good images as the pix here show. Great depth of field too in these images.

    Regards. Barr1e

      I can see what appears to be a very slight halo around the first sparrow - maybe a touch over-sharpened, but the rest are perfect and really show how the good the ZD 70-300 can perform in the right hands! It looks like you are fully recovered, Paul

        Thank you Barrie.

        Thank you Ian and you are correct, but not over sharpening as all images had the same sharpening settings but just a exposure mask in CO6 Pro not correctly applied, I have fixed it now, thanks for pointing it out.

        Nearly fully recovered Ian just a slight discomfort and the occasional pins and needles in my hand, must be better as I have shot 800 frames in the last couple of weeks which must be a record for me as I am usually most conservative in how many I take.

          Oh wow. These Sparrow pics are all beautiful. I especially like the ones of the female; she chose such photogenic perches and poses.

          I was considering an E-1 at the time. A lass on another forum had one given as a gift from her husband. She never ever posted a picci that was actually in focus though - neither with her E-1 or any other camera as I recall.

          I still have and still use my original 2003 *istD, a gift from my husband. I used it with an old Tamron 28-300 and I think I've probably had some of my best pics off that combination.

            Great shots but I do favour the 3rd one for her pose
