Yup. I picked up a Dell S2209W

Before

After

Looks terrible on my laptop but stunning on a calibrated monitor now.

All the above pics were PP'ed on new laptop.

nice!! yes, amazing what thatll do for you

my dell monitor is starting to have seen its days..I have to lean a bit to my left to get a true contrast representation Ive noticed....if anyone was standing in this room watching me it would look very odd

Awesome Kingfisher shots. I wish I'd seen one when I was in London. Never really left town so probably not very common around Regent Park, Kew Gardens or Windsor Castle.

Got some passable Robin, Green Woodpecker & Jay photos, although nothing like yours.

Thanks for sharing.

No worries, more soon.

Yeah I wouldnt expect them around Regents Park but maybe in Kew Gardens but that being said, it may be tricky since there are so many people about and not enough places to hide.

They seem to like being near the water so a park with a stream is more favoured. Im slowly learning all the habitat stuff now.

I was with a few others who got even more great results.
