    Default Coot

    These Coot (and the Moorhens chicks) are just about as cute as it gets in the bird world......don't you think!

    Be nice to have got a full frame on these but alas not on this occasion.

    Have now added a more heavily cropped image to bring the birds in closer. It also serves to illustrate the quality of the image lost as a result in doing so.

    Attempted to add this to the one above but must have done something wrong......Whoooops!

    I like the first one really because you have more detail round it

    Yes thats a very good point Beryl. I have often criticised wildlife photography which shows animals in 'full frame' which appear to have been photographed in a museum being void of any of the creatures in question being shown in their habitat.

    Yes. I some times go in to the full frame if I need to show detail of the insect or feathering detail which is not normally seen. But I do think for the most a little detail is nice and shows the subject off a little better

    Suppose it sounds like I'm always going to agree with you Beryl but you are quite right again - and I do agree - macro photography is another matter when it comes to 'full frame'.

    Yes Pete. I'm no expert by any means and am still learning but I really like close up detail if I can get and it is useful.
    I some tims use a cam-carder to get closer
