I was i lying on a jetty in camouflage dress waiting for him. Finally he came sitting on a branch - 5m off. I will get back there and try to shoot more images of the kingfisher. I thought you must have been close!  I admire your patience and am sure you looked very bird-like in camouflage!  I await patiently further pictures of the kingfisher.

However, if you work on 2k display and sharpen picture on it, it will look over sharpened on higher resolution display, this is expected and normal. Another thing is they way people reduce picture size, often with additional sharpening on low res display, but this is another topic for discussion. I was startled by the brief discussion here about 4K screens showing images made on a 2 K screen as over sharp. I am not a fan of over sharpening however I work on a 2560 x 1440 Eizo screen. I have another 3200 x 1800  screen next to the Ezio. I was checking my images for over sharpening because if I wasn't going to "like" an image on the Forum, it would be for its over sharp look. I am sure there are many others that would feel the same here. My images and some others using long lenses seemed very okay however a couple of my M10M street images were a touch "un natural" or over sharp. I am a bit varied though and many of my images are not natural at all but I am endeavouring to get recent bird and landscape images looking natural. So this was an interesting discussion about monitors and image sharpness. Recently I have been using the Denoise in Lightroom and or adding a touch of sharpening at the end, in camera raw. Ken   Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coral Palm Posted June 4, 2023 Share #189  Posted June 4, 2023 Very nice Dirk. There is something about animals with their mouths open that changes the photo and most times elevates it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyBeale Posted November 4, 2023 Share #193  Posted November 4, 2023 Hi everyone, first post on this forum and I have just purchased a Sigma 150-600 Sports lens. This was one from a few test shots and was taken at 600 mm with a Panasonic S5 Mark II. I have yet to try tracking with this combination, so we'll see how we go next. Tony. Welcome, dear visitor!

A dot sight works better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the advice. The lens is clearly more sharp when used with Electronic Shutter. Don't forget to adjust it to you your requirements using the USB Dock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
