Strictly speaking IBIS and OIS suit different lenses - the longer lenses (logically!) benefit more from OIS. I haven't got IBIS so can't compare. In theory, IBIS ought to work out a lot cheaper in the end (and at least a bit lighter) but I bet it doesn't work that way.

I love them. Bold as brass. Curious. One of them hops around me when I go doing stuff in the garden. Sometimes I have to stop in case I shovel a shovel load on him/her.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0

It's not so much the fighting but the murdering (of each other!) that makes them bastards.Faster than a tent.......0 -

Beatrix Potter has a lot to answer for. Peaceful Christmas card-friendly behaviour would only evolve if it offered some advantage.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Lay off the robins! I love the fact that they hop around me optimistically when I'm digging in the garden, and treat me to bursts of spectacular singing down the leafy lane on the morning dog walk.
Pigeons on the other hand can f@ck right off. All they seem to do is sh1t on the cars and the patio furniture0 -
Fake news. Surely?
They just look false and the lighting is all wrong. Or am I?

Very nice, Ben and Brian. No photos myself (only a phone to hand), but I did manage to just about see the eclipse through the hazy cloud.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

That's a nice one. Although my HX50 goes to 30x optical zoom well, the 60x digital really starts to show on moon shots, in comparison with proper high-end optical zoom. So I think my better moon shots are the more artistic ones, and not the ones in the dead of night, when it's really hard to catch the brilliant luminosity.Ben6899 wrote:Like! ^^^

Yes, mine is at 300mm and then cropped. You lose a lot when digital zoom comes into play.
The two you've just posted here are really great.Ben

You didn't manage to catch the meteor impact as well did you?
It's Ben699's pic, not mine.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Thanks Pinno!
And thanks Wolfs... didn't manage to catch any meteor strikes, to the best of my knowledge.
Had a pretty stressful week, which should calm after work today... so I plan to set up the tripod again as the sky has been beautiful at dawn and dusk.Ben

There is also a guy in South Africa who freedives with Great Whites and has done for many years so I would say it’s true, the photographer will have used a strobe to bring out any colours at the red end of the spectrum. I also have dvd’s of researchers diving with them and chasing them off as part of that research plus diving with and hand feeding Tiger sharks.PBlakeney wrote:Fake news. Surely?

Not all sharks eat you, I have dived with and photographed sharks on many occasions and here I am with everything attached.

Oh, BTW, I found my snaps from September 2015's blood moon.... before, & during. Most of the 'during' ones were total failures.

Shot with my iPhone whilst absolutely freezing, but I like it.

Just found this thread....
Some shots I took last July in the Isle of May
All cropped from larger photos.
And to be fair and honest there are about 46,000 puffins on the island.
