Well you've said it before i could - I LOVE the light there - the waves are just terrific thanks for sharing by the way, but this is only a by the way - I think the waxbird snaps are perfectly fine - only the focus is a puzzle to me as I think - I"m not sure about it as I can't see the original shot - I think that the bud is crystal shap whereas the bird might have been better - is this only the result of my ageing eyes? I have noticed the same problem when using the 2X extender with films on my vario-elmar. I went to the eye doctor as a result and intend to have the R4 checked too - looking for a -1 diopter for the R3 nd R4 by the way No harm intended for sure - but sometimes the difference is so subtle - a quarter of an inch here, a cm there, and what you saw is not what you should have got. I did LOVE the blurred, fast moving, wings flapping one in the back ground - that's the gist of this wonderful shot. thanks again Phil PS : I do want more of this LOL currently working ...
