First bird photos
I'm not really a wildlife photographer, but I thought I'd take a stab at bird photography. I learned that birds are ridiculously uncooperative.

Athens photos
A few shots from the winter of 2025. The last one was inside of the Acropolis Museum. (Unfortunately, I could get everyone to walk exactly where I wanted them to. hahaha)

Focus Stacking ~ New to Me
I am interested in learning Macro/Closeup photography and understanding that Focus Bracketing is a good part of the process, I thought I would give focus stacking a try.

Vintage Lens
Another visit to our garden using a vintage lens (Canon FD 50mm f/1.4) on my Canon R5. NOTE: With this lens the minimum focusing distance is 18" at which point you have 1/4" depth of field.

... and typically the smaller the bird, the more uncooperative! heh. I thought Warblers bounced around a lot till I tried to get a photo of a Kinglet. :)
Even if you bribe them...uncooperative little #*^@'s
I love the details in your second photo.
My first attempt a couple days ago. Had to bump everything to get a fast shutter speed on a cloudy day.
f/7.1 ~ 1/4000 ~ ISO 3200 ~ 300mm
Thanks, and nice shot!
