What settings did you change, these look a lot sharper and a lot less grainy.

I just went through all my settings.. and i found that i must have hit the dial in front changing the F mode and maybe something else.. I was blaming it on the lens.. it made a grinding noise because it was having trouble focusing.. thanks i think it is okay now..for now..lol

They are looking better, there's more light but they still look dotted to me. What I'm seeing is tiny little black dots all over that give it a speckled appearance and I don't know if that's from too high an ISO or is it noise due to a lack of light? What ISO did you use for those pics? Is your aper. all the way open?

400 ISO f/9 white balance auto.. although i did change the ISO throughout to see what each photo would change for the better.. but most were 400 ISO so i assume this one was too.. maybe i sharpened a little too much..

I'm baffled, I'll say no more on it and wish you the best with it. Maybe I'll have the same luck with the new lens I just ordered last night. I bought a Tamron 150-600mm F5-6.3 DI VC USD. My other lens for nature (70-200mm) just didn't zoom quite enough. I'll likely be selling it to recoup some loss.

500mm with 1.4x extender, so 700mm for some awesome reach.
