Very nice! The one with the woman taking a snap is good. Well, all of them are really!

This was my sunrise this morning. Not as exciting as your though but I wasn't 40 floors up.

Few more this morning. Really struggle to get sharp pics at 200mm with that b*****d lens. Tips?

Ay Ay Ron · Dec 12, 2012

Buy a faster lens

With that zoom I think you will struggle getting crisp images. Might be wrong though but I notice if I'm using the longer end of my zoom then the images are softer.

A flash may help too so you can use a faster shutter speed? Or bump your ISO up?

its a non VR 55-200mm mate. ive bought a 70-300mm VR which I havent got yet. From what I can gather its pretty sharp up to 200mm, then the last 100mm is still good but obviously not quite top notch.

Ive tried different speeds and ISO's but theyre all the same at 200mm. Just slightly blurry.

Higher aperture maybe? You'll lose the DOF then though.

Still sucks no matter what I do. I took 10 photos of different birds in this location earlier and this was the most clear. Tried full apetures, different ISO's, white balances etc. Without getting closer or reducing the zoom this is all I can get.

How to post so its a link to Flickr ?

Ay Ay Ron · Dec 12, 2012

On flickr, where it says share, select bb code (and appropriate size) and just paste it in to here.
Don't need to worry about wrapping it in picture tags on here, just paste the whole code.

^^^ Great catch on the robin, were you a long way from it?

I can't stop shooting at the moment, it appears that all you need to re-find your mojo is to spend a load of money on a lens!

Cheers! It was around 10 foot away but shot at 300mm, Really need to invest in a long f2.8 or something alike.
My Tameron 70-300mm isn't the great on my D7000 when at the top end, its far too soft.

Been messing with my 300mm today, the robin is in poor light at low ISO so had to edit it a bit.

Love this little thing!

ISO800.....what noise?!

And even on the highest setting, ISO12800, it's still useable!

THAT is partly why I didn't get a basic point and shoot. Forget how many MP you have, sensor size is key.

I presume this is the non VC Tamron 70-300? The VC one is said to be greatly improved.

Thats a lovely shot Nick but run it through lightroom to remove chromatic abrasion (purple fringing) on the robins beak.

Christ what a bulldog

NickMelson · Dec 18, 2012

Had a mouse in the girlfriends house, The trap didnt want to work and the mouse was rather tame. So took advantage of it with my 35mm

Gorgeous mouse pic!

Obsessed with my 135mm, just ordered the 35mm 1.4 to compliment it (traded in my 24-105 f4), I had to stand in the far corner of the room to take this...
