Damn impressive!

Is it the full frame or a wide crop?
Asher Kelman
OPF Owner/Editor-in-Chief
Did you take more?

Wide crop
And yes... 19 more shots of the River Otter. And I'm glad you asked because somehow I deleted 12 of the pix but recovered them just now.

Then it might be the reason why the picture is bot really sharp…

Jim, is this a place you can revisit? Using a longer lens would really be worthwhile. Do you have a neighbor with Canon glass?

Here it is untouched

We can revisit and will probably will but I don't know anyone in the area here that has a longer lens that I could borrow.
Still making new friends...

Well, I was hesitating with the previous pictures you posted here in OPF, but this one seems to confirm that your lens deserves a micro focus adjustment (if it's possible with this camera), it seems to me that it suffers from front focus ...
Your camera settings 1/560s; ƒ/6,7; ISO 200
Your lens might gives better results when stopped down at ƒ/8, in such conditions, you had a lot of room (increasing a bit ISO, say at ISO 320 or lower speed if you are not trembling…

I'm getting a new lens soon & hopefully it will help correct the problem.

This is going to be great! You are a great hunter and we are going to get some treats, I know

Cool, but that doesn't prevent you to achieve the micro adjustments for both the actual and the new lens…
You might be surprised!

I'm still new to adjustments with the camera, but I have read the manual twice. I just shoot in RAW and sometimes Sports mode but have only play with ISO once.
I'm going to try it
TNX for the feedback

In (very very) short:
There are 3 main features to control your camera:
- ISO: at high settings more light comes, but the higher ISO brings more noise
- Aperture (ƒ #) will determine the depth of field, the more stopped down (say ƒ22) will bring maximum of depth (from close to far) but the more stopped down the more needs of light…
- Speed will stop a movement of a race car for exemple or let you play when slow to get the blurred effect on the water of a river.
So these three features are all interacting, the experience and trials will let you know how to get the desired results…
If you are not familiar with this, you might find online photography courses or hire a photog to teach you the first things to know AND understand.
IMHO this should be done, before "playing in the field", you'll make good shots quicker!

TNX, And I just picked up a tripod at Goodwill (Sq stock type legs & on the heavy side) for $6. lol
Also I have Lynda.com (from LinkedIn) through the local library with free courses. I'll go check right now.
