These guys are so difficult. They live in our garden but I have never got anything good. What mm lens did you use? 0 0 Juergen M Zeidler July 10, 2024 PEDRO Hayward [Edited] 200mm, 2.8 0 0 PEDRO Hayward July 10, 2024 Juergen M Zeidler All the more commendable. I have 200 but have not succeeded with them. Well done 0 0 Juergen M Zeidler July 11, 2024 PEDRO Hayward Thank you! 0 0 PEDRO Hayward July 11, 2024 Juergen M Zeidler And what shutter speed? I presume the bird was alive-ha ha! 0 0 Juergen M Zeidler July 11, 2024 PEDRO Hayward 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! 0 0 PEDRO Hayward July 11, 2024 Juergen M Zeidler Well, perseverance certainly paid off. 0 0 Mariano San José González July 11, 2024 Excellent photo with very good colour 0 0 Juergen M Zeidler July 11, 2024 Mariano San José González Thank you! 0 0
