Also met a new friend with the new 500mm lens same as me he is very pleased with it and using it on a D750. I have asked him to make contact with us and join our forum. ...and here I am! A pleasure to meet you Graham and thanks for encouraging me to join the forum. Here's the first of a few pix form the 500mm f/5.6 PF on my D750.

Something a little different, the Kings Rifle Corps memorial in Winchester. 500mm f/5.6 PF lens on D750, hand held 1/160 sec, f/8.0, ISO 800. This is the whole frame, converted to B&W in Lr Classic CC. Attachment: Memorial-2965.jpg (Downloaded 43 times)

And finally, for now at least, a kite-surfers kite taken at Titchfield Haven yesterday. Again, the whole frame; ISO100, 1/1250 sec, f/8 Attachment: Kite-2854.jpg (Downloaded 38 times)

OK, so here's another one! Inspired by Graham's mention of the VR capability, this was shot hand-held at 1/15th sec, f/8.0, ISO 100 Perhaps not the greatest of images but I was playing around with the VR not concentrating on composition. This in 'Normal' VR mode (not 'Sport'). Attachment: 15thSecHH-2952.jpg (Downloaded 38 times)

Love the detail in the bird photo and a poignant reminder for me with the statue. My father was in the KRRs during ww2. He passed away earlier this year but his birthday would have been this weekend.

Welcome to the forum Steve, looking at the first image of your series, the feather structure is amazing, what bird is the subject, I am not an ornithologist... The tufts of feathers or eyelashes below the eye are amazing. The interlocking of the filaments of the throat feathers and the texture is wonderful. I have never noticed such detail before, although presumably such structure exists with many species? Thank you for taking the time to post a 100% crop. I imagine with birds this is close to impossible but have you considered very basic focus stacking? but it might be advantageous for the perch or some aspect of the image which might benefit from a greater DoF? Playing with the DoF can sometimes bring an added dimension to an image and with the narrow DoF of the 500, it might be worth considering... Turn it to your advantage.

I have never noticed such detail before, although presumably such structure exists with many species? Thanks for your welcome. The bird in my first image is a dunock (also known as Hedge sparrow), which was taken at Leighton Moss RSPB reserve, near Carnforth, last week. I'd thought of focus stacking for macro subjects like insects which sometimes sit in the sun to warm up; but not for birds. You're probably right though, near impossible unless it's roosting.
