GBH and Mk4

[Alfred Forns]

First time out with the Mk4, need to work on some of the settings but overall very please with results. ISO is cleaner and AF works well, lots of sharp flight images. Have one at 10,000 which I posted in F&F. Will be fun experimenting with this new camera !!! All colors natural, for once we had some color !!!!

Comments welcome and much appreciated

I'm glad you like the Mark IV, too. If you haven't done so yet, I would turn off Auto Lighting Optimizer, it messes with exposure compensation.

Very nice silhouette and light in the BG.

[Alfred Forns]

Hi Axel After your warning I did right away, thanks !!!

[Phil Ertel]

Hi Alfred, I like this silhouette. I like the composition and pose. I also find the two tone background to be pleasing. Enjoy your new camera.

[Michael Wolf]

Nice capture!
The two tone BG is a sweet effect.

Congrats on the new toy!!!!

[Adams Serra]

Beautiful image Alfred!
I like the two colors of the background.

[Aidan Briggs]

Would love to get my hands on a Mk4. Lovely warm colors, pose and BG. I'm not a fan of square crops, but I don't mind it here.

Well Done!!

I like the clear crisp outline with just enough perch to rest it within the photo. Also like the vivid orange glow behind.

Al, Congrats on the new camera! This is a beautiful image, very pleasing to the eye.

[Chris Zink]

I like the simplicity of this image (not that it was simple to take, I am sure).

Thanks, Giulio

Used Noiseware but had very little noise, remarkably clean, the one at Friends and Family taken at 10,000 did have lots of noise but cleaned up!!
