Nice detail and composition Jeff. Also like how the color just pops in both of them.

Re: of days gone by

Great shots proving it's the eye behind the camera that counts
But it's nice to have more gear though :-)

Re: of days gone by

Not a lot wrong with the older cameras, although I was never pleased with my 50D, which was never as good as my 40D, one of which I still have as a back up, along with my old 7D as well now

Two nice shots

Re: of days gone by

I've never had anything better than the 50d, so I'm happy with it because it achieves better results than my 350d. I do sometimes long for less noise at higher iso levels though. It's not so bad outside, but some of my indoor shots are a struggle to process well.

Re: of days gone by

Long Tailed Tit image is perfect Jeff. Hard to get those little suckers without a branch in front of it. Folk with gear tend to think that a long long lens will get the results. My mate now gets kingy shots with the 18-55 kit lens on the 70D wireless lol

Re: of days gone by

cheers ,to be perfectly honest i think the major improvements over the last several years have in reality been in the software we use for processing .i now use PS6 on a i-mac that is about 7 generations removed from what i used with the 40d .looking at the two photos neither of which have been brought up to date btw they are exactly what i posted at the time ,it does make me wonder and also makes my decision to carry on with a 10mp 1D3 a valid one
