Redstart

This is about the first shot with my new Nikon.D7000 which arrived today. Seems ok when I work out what all the things do.!! Its been a long time with the trusty old D200,s and change is difficult , but they've done me proud.
D7000
Sigma 100-300
500 ISO f11
640th second
EV down two stops (in sunlight)
Couldn't get contrast down in the camera (cos I could't find it!)
Cheers

Sorry
Straight out of camera apart from cropping- about 70 % of frame

If this is typical, you should be very pleased with the early tests of your new camera.

Very nice! Looks like you've adapted quite well to the new toy. Really terrific detail from bird down through the perch.

Fine detail - a simple, clean image and a very nice one! The lichen adds a lot of interest.
Have fun with the new toy!
