Great photo's Brandy, I read Frankman's case study on birding yesterday afternoon during a quiet spell at work and then headed down to a local lake to try out some of his ideas. I was quite impressed with the results though I feel the shots were a little noisy and next time will try dropping the ISO down next time. Here's a couple of the shots: http://www.flickr.com/photos/benevolent_son71/6841362395/" rel="nofollow">  http://www.flickr.com/photos/benevolent_son71/6841362395/" rel="nofollow - Wings Outstretched by http://www.flickr.com/people/benevolent_son71/" rel="nofollow - benevolent_son71 , on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/benevolent_son71/6841332901/" rel="nofollow">  http://www.flickr.com/photos/benevolent_son71/6841332901/" rel="nofollow - Indifference by http://www.flickr.com/people/benevolent_son71/" rel="nofollow - benevolent_son71 , on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/benevolent_son71/6841378991/" rel="nofollow">  http://www.flickr.com/photos/benevolent_son71/6841378991/" rel="nofollow - Red Eye by http://www.flickr.com/people/benevolent_son71/" rel="nofollow - benevolent_son71 , on Flickr ------------- a99ii | Tamron 90mm f/2.8 | Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 | Sony 50mm f/1.4 | Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 | CZ 16-35mm f/2.8 | Sony 70-400mm G2 |

A good set dongoroz, although I feel #3 is less successful, possibly becuase the pool was muddied. ------------- http://www.dyxum.com/dforum/posting-images-and-links-faqs_topic28010.html - Posting Images and Links | http://tinyurl.com/oz62mfp - Posts awaiting answers |

Hi all Up early yesterday morning and watched the sun come up over a lake walk near me. Intended getting some wildfowl pics in the early morning sun when this little chap came to visit. Took a series of pics and here are 8 I would like to share with you all. Hope you like them - it was freeeeeeezing this morning minus something!! Graham ps - all pics are with A77 and 70-400G and all were same settings: pps - have also posted these in the "open forum" but have just discovered this section for bird pics so here are my first offerings in this section. Now I know there is this section for birds will be a regular visitor as this is what I enjoy most. Some of the photographs I have seen are wonderful in this section - looking forward to being a regular viewer and hopefully contributor. What a great section and superb forum/site this is. Exposure 0.001 sec(1/1600) Aperture f/5.6 Focal Length 400 mm ISO 500 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  ------------- Still learning http://www.flickr.com/photos/78887747@N06/ |

And when my little robin Red Breast friend wasn't visiting, through the undergrowth popped up little Jenny Wren. Again - camera, lens and settings all the same. And still it was very, very cold!!! Hope you like these two: 1  2  These two are both cropped, unlike the robin who is completely natural and full size. Graham By the way I did get some birds on the lake too! ------------- Still learning http://www.flickr.com/photos/78887747@N06/ |

Hey, I have a pair of Carolinas in my back garden. They don't look quite as good as these though as sadly the chickens in with them tend to walk on them. Poor little things. They are as happy as pie though. ------------- In 2012 after months of tests I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. I was 46 and suddenly life made sense.

Thanks for the nice comments. Hols53, the settings were iso 800, f18, 1/1250 at 180mm. Below is a better shot of the American Robin. They don't even look related to yours, huh? Russellsbags, the bird in #2 is a Black Crowned Night Heron, pretty much year round residents here. The bird in #3 is a White Crowned Sparrow.  ------------- Just for fun. Jim |

Hi James To get that silhouette effect did you under or over expose the photograph? Lovely effect. Prefer your second image of Mr Redbreast - lovely pic. My pics I posted of Jenny Wren where sooooo much more difficult to get than the robin I posted - the challenge is getting the best pic for particular species I guess.

From my chilly day at the lake here are three pictures of birds "doing things". Blue tit flitting and coots racing - hope you like. Graham 1 Blue tit flitting from tree to tree  Sony A77 + 70-400G Shutter speed 1/4000 Aperture F5.6 Focal length 400mm ISO 640 When photograph was taken the sun appeared through a cold haze. The sky suddenly became blue through the cold air. Photograph cropped about 50% 2 Coots racing  Sony A77 + 70-400G Shutter speed 1/3200 Aperture F6.3 Focal length 400mm ISO 500 At time a cold haze came over the lake which gave a very "murky" light. The coots were about 100 yards onto the lake. Photograph cropped about 33%. 3 And in the lead ...........  same descriptors as (2) ------------- Still learning http://www.flickr.com/photos/78887747@N06/ |

Hols52. Focus on the bird, expose for the sky. Really not difficult. The camera naturally wants to do that anyway. Exposure compensation was set at +.3 which is where I normally set it. Just a touch of structure added in the sky with Color Efex. ------------- Just for fun. Jim |
