I upsize my images in ACR with the following options:
Space: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 Depth: 16 Bits/Channel Size: 6144 by 4096 (25.2 MP) + Resolution: 300 pixels/inch Sharpen For: None Open in Photoshop as Smart Objects option checked
Here is my camera's specs:
Space: sRGB Depth: 14 bit Size: 4272 by 2848 (12.2 MP)
Do you also do this in ACR? Do my photos benefit from the increase in depth and resolution considering it's done in RAW?

How do you compute a crop percentage? Do you compute it based on the final crop measurements (length x width) or based on the relative area cropped from the image? I'm not sure if I was clear. I mean, when I use the crop tool, I usually indicate the final image size I want, usually 1024 x 800 (based on Flickr free account). Cropping this way allows me to crop either a very small part or almost full frame of the image and still come up with 1024 x 800. Basing this on an initial image size of 4272 x 2848, it is a 7% crop. The percent crop though becomes different if you base it on the area cropped against the whole image, ie, whether you took a small or a large part of the original image. I am thinking that the percent crop is based on the relative area cropped from the image and not on the final size. Another usage of the percent crop is 100% crop when referring to a pixel view of an image which has now an entirely different meaning. So, what do you think?

Thank you very much Sir Ely. The DOF I guess was thin that's why I wasn't able to put both geese in focus.

Nice shots of three species of Pittas. The Steere's Pitta seems to be unwary of the insect under its bill.

Canada Geese are abundant here in our place. You can see them in hundreds grazing on open grasslands. Here is a shot of a G.I.F. I got in a park near our place. C&C is very much welcome.

Hi Sir Romy, I posted this photo on another forum and got differing opinions on how I should have cropped the photo. Some say that I should have cropped the reflection as it is not a strong one while others like it as it is. I would love to know how you would have cropped this photo if this were yours. I also would like to know your comments on the PP work I have done. Gull on IceShooting Info: Canon XSi + EF 300mm f/4L IS USM, f/5.6, 1/1000 sec, ISO 200, -0.7 exposure compensation, hand held Original image uncropped and unprocessed. No PP done except converted in Photoshop from RAW to JPEG using defaults of ACR and resized to 1024x683 (maximum for a free Flickr account). Processed, cropped image (originally cropped and posted at 1200x800 but Flickr converted to 1024x683 )

@sir Bobby: The FPS is truly a limiting factor for this camera not to mention its low buffer size. I only get 6 continuous shots in RAW before the camera pauses to save to disk even with a Class 10 card. I missed a lot of shots because of this. If only this has a bigger buffer, I can deal with the FPS. I guess I really need to upgrade my body but that won't be anytime soon as I have just spent for a new glass. I am looking at the 60D based on your review. The FPS is almost the same but you were able to shoot an 11-shot burst so I guess it has a bigger buffer. @mick: Thanks for the comment.

This is my first attempt at BIFs using the 300mm. I'm not sure about the AF speed of the 400mm as I have not used it but with the 300mm, I get about 2 out of 10 shots that have acceptable focus. I've heard that the 400mm focuses faster so I have to try and rent one to compare it with the 300mm focus speed. All these are handheld, thanks to the 300mm IS. I would welcome comments and critiques to improve my BIF shots. Both photos have same EXIF: Gulls on IceShooting Info: February 23, 2011, Canon XSi + EF 300mm f/4L IS USM, f/5.6, 1/1000 sec, ISO 200, -0.7 exposure compensation, hand held

@jun: I also wondered about that before but realized later what they meant. @ariel: Thanks for the comment. I really love the details this glass captures.

I am planning to get a 1.4x extender soon. Might get the Kenko Pro DGX because of the good reviews.

Nice family shot Mick and lots of details too. I would have love to see the whole body of the bird on the left though. But overall, good shot.

Is that a mating display? Haven't seen one in action yet. Great action shot Mick.

Thanks Mick! I might ultimately get the 400 5.6L if I feel that I need more reach. Would love to see what you got on your first shot with your glass.
