Hi everybody

First post here, I enjoy shooting nature, sunsets and birds (and sometimes candids), trying to improve those bird shots, I know this is not the critics corner but if you fell like C&C, just dont hold back, it is most welcome.

Most of the shots taken at Chester County, PA. Mostly no PP, rarely some cropping, Presently shooting with kit lenses, Sony 75-300mm. and Sony 18-70mm.

Cheers / ASE

1/100 sec, f 5.6, 300 mm, ISO 100.

Mallards, French Creek, Chester County, PA.

Welcome ASE to a wonderful forum! I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

I'm in Chester County as well. Born and raised.
It's a great place to shoot, and I look forward to seeing more from you.

@ JPink

Thanks for warm welcome

I agree, Chester County is a great place to shoot. Last weekend at French Creek, w/in 3 hours, besides shooting fly fisherman, I was able to shoot redheaded woodpecker, blue heron, hawk and a beaver.

I will definitely post more at this wonderful forum .

Edited the post the little pic have an intact exif,
Thx guys, yes it's with the tammy, it has the potential to make good pictures but it's not that easy ( at slow speeds), been experimenting with SSS on and off. Best results seem to come if I support the lens at the front (sss on) so I allow vertical movement of the camera.
The focus speed isn't that great either, used my beercan that's been inactive for a while and it felt lightning fast compared to the tammy. But I scared the birds with it's clonking focus sounds.

Agree - fantastic shot, pallep - is it a Bullfinch ?

[do you get a lot in Sweden - only I recall a similar shot (from Sweden, I think) as a finalist in last years "Wildlife photog of the year" exhibition]
