Re: Thank Goodness

You're so good at this, Pops. My attempts at getting the birds interested in our garden has been a flop and the food on the feeders just goes off

But a bit of good news - I think a pair of robins are nesting in a neighbour's ivy on our adjoining fence.

Whether I can get any pix, let alone ones like yours, is a moot point though.

PS There is a bit of a halo around the blackbird - obviously had his readybrek that morning

If you know they are in the ivy, and you have the time, you could set up the camera close by and use a lengthy shutter release.

No critique needed here , one of the best robin shots i've seen in ages , good D.O.F . maybe , just maybe it needs a touch more sharpening , but thats nitpicking .

Thanks Bob. I have had this sharpening comment before. My prob is I am very wary of overdoing it particularly with birds. A touch to much and it looks so obvious and the feather resemble starnds of wire

Re: Thank Goodness

These are great photos. Not my type of thing but then I know a man who does and all the hard work that goes into them.

And what a studio you have. Keep up the great work we all like to see it. My back garden is a bird free zone. I have two cats of which one is quite the little hunter birds,mice and even the odd baby rabbit have come in the cat flap with him. Only tonight we had to catch a mouse that he came in with.
