Incredible. These guys are so difficult. They live in our garden but I have never got anything good. What mm lens did you use?
200mm, 2.8
All the more commendable. I have 200 but have not succeeded with them. Well done
Thank you!
And what shutter speed? I presume the bird was alive-ha ha!
1/500 sec @2.8
these birds do erratic moves and I had a ton of pictures without a bird or part of its wing at the frame edge. The success rate is quite low. Clearly an advantage of digital. With film it would break the bank!
Well, perseverance certainly paid off.
