Thanks Sandip!

@@rogerhance5883 Thanks Roger. The sparrows in our garden continue to provide entertainment!

@@macg33zr Ours as well.

Thanks Roger

@@rogerhance5883 Yes, it's really good! I'm finding with the 150-400mm at 500mm it is quite hard to hold steady for video even with the synch IS unless you can rest it on a shelf in a hide or something. I rarely carry a monopod or tripod. So I allow a bit of space for cropping and use the DV Resolve stabilisation in PP.

@@macg33zr Well worth knowing. I have used it on one clip I did, but I had not left enough space around the subject, and when I cropped in, it was too tight in the frame.

@@rogerhance5883 Thanks Roger. This is from the Spring Hide at RSPB Fowlmere in Cambridgeshire where we volunteer for the RSPB. They have been quite active recently. Usually they swim out and back to eat these plants but there was enough vegetation this one could eat It in situ so great for photos. It can be hit and miss but well worth a visit, I'd recommend week days as weekends are quite busy - although we're into school holidays now. If you do Facebook search out a group called Friends of RSPB Fowlmere to get an idea of what people are seeing. It's a small reserve but quite varied habitat. We saw a water vole at Minsmere a couple of weeks ago quite close but I also found it not great for photography with the reeds and looking down on it.

@@macg33zr HI Bill, Thanks for the info. Never been to Fowlmere but maybe worth as visit. Is the light in front of the Spring hide best morning or afternoon ?

​@@rogerhance5883Good question, I'm mostly there for photography afternoons so not sure if mornings are better. It can be quite shaded by trees. This video was taken around 4:30pm. You are facing roughly south west along a channel. There's an accurate map of the reserve with hide locations on this site if it helps, they mention Turtle Doves which sadly haven't been present for some years www.birdingplaces.eu/en/birdingplaces/united-kingdom/fowlmere-nature-reserve-rspb

@@macg33zr Thanks Bill.

Hi Nick - yes that would be fine no problem

Thanks, I think it may have eaten the ladybird so lucky it turned around! No relation to Roy Dennis.

The problems started for me after the OM Workspace was updated to the latest version. So I wouldn’t downgrade my Mac for it. I might try a complete reinstall of OM Workspace.

We have tried that and nothing changed time about to try capture 1,fingers crossed that's ok Thanks for your reply KEN @@macg33zr

Sorry to hear you have issues with it as well. If just for photo editing you could look at Affinity Photo it is not too expensive. I use that and CaptureOne zPro for raw photo editing. I need OM Workspace for firmware updates though.

Thanks for your reply time thinking of doing the same has you and try capture1 ,KEN .@@macg33zr
