I also requested access as [email protected] As @JamesStaddon said, you could just make it Public so anyone can view them.
I think I would agree with your opinion James, about the T3, but that still doesn’t explain why every once in a while you get a perfectly good shot!
@alaskabirder, you would likely see an improvement by upgrading to the 7D Mk II. It’s Canon’s very newest DSLR and from what I’ve heard, it is quite powerful! Unfortunately, being the newest, it is also very expensive…
Also, you have to remember that your lens is old! According to Ken Rockwell, it was released in 1998!
One more question, what focus mode do you use? It could possible make a difference if you use continuous vs. One shot, I’m not sure.
