The other option would be to set one of your user defined modes. Set it up for BIF and you could very quickly switch from static wildlife settings, to BIF, with a higher FPS rate.

Have you tried different cards? You might also try having it save only RAW files to see what happens.

WEV, I had a little room in the original image to de center the stem. Here it is. I'm thinking that if I have a chance to reshoot this, I might try highlighting the seed head with some fill flash. The backlighting from the sky gives most of the fuzzies a blue tint, hard to get rid of without...

Here's one from the same series. It is a little sharper. I actually preferred the softer version myself. Perhaps a matter of individual taste. I also worked a little more on this one and came up with a color version that is in the running IMO. I went soft on this one.

Welcome. You should post some of your images. We'll be gentle.

The Pup and I went back to Magnolia today. Not my best day of shooting. There were a few OK images. These turtles were either very brave, or very stupid. I didn't count on the way back to see if they all survived. This was a solid photo, IMO, although nothing to alert the press about...

But, there is a small voice in my head that says "No!". I like the concept. It is supposed to be "artsy". I tried it in color, and that really didn't work for me. I quickly changed over to B&W, better. There are no deep blacks, which is OK for high key. I brought down the texture to give it a...

Tried playing around with a couple images I discarded previously. Thought I might try something a little different with this one, so I masked and darkened the background to enhance the dramatic look of this bird. I was able to salvage this soft image with Topaz. I did have to resort to a...

I decided to revisit the first one of this series. I cropped a little tighter and moved the frame. I think this is an improvement. Once again, I think it would be a good idea to let fresh images percolate for a while before posting. I doubt I'll ever actually do that, but it's still probably a...

I love the background "halo" on this one, but I'm not happy with the eye. This Kestrel has very dark brown irises, and with the lighting conditions, they were very reflective. I lightened the eye a little, too much and it looks weird. I cranked up the saturation a little, and that's about all I...

The Pup and I made it to the Birds of Prey center. Unfortunately, there was a bad wreck on the interstate and we missed the morning demonstration. We did make it in time to catch the owl flight demo, and the hand showing of two of the other raptors.

Woohoo! My first Swamp wildlife photography SS has garnered over 100 views now. The Youtube checks will soon be rolling in! :rolleyes:

Just for info, I finally heard back from Topaz. He said there was a new version coming out the end of the month. I assume that is the beta that Fred referred to. He said to wait until that comes out and see if the issue continues.

My understanding is that the ES-2 is designed to be used with one of several Nikon macro lenses with a 62mm filter. You might be able to make it work with a lens you have using extension tubes and the proper filter adapter, but I wouldn't count on it. Here is a description and review of the...
