He would have the bird perched on a natural, dead branch, as if it were in the wild, not on a cheap, plastic bird bath. But, it is challenging, working at? the limits of my equipment. This was at 8 feet, likely at f/8, with a DoF of less than an inch, with SS and IOS at compromises.? And, the focusing was done before the bird arrived.? It's the way I keep the 88-yr-old grey matter working. :-) Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA On 12/11/2018 10:12 AM, Philippe via LUG wrote: > The first one is yet another rung climbed on the ladder towards Doug the > Birdman, Jim! > > No feeder, sharp, nicely rendered natural colours, etc. > > A must be printed for sure, and displayed large > > > The second doesn?t work sorry (too slow a shutter speed I presume). > > Amities > > Philippe > > > >> Le 11 d?c. 2018 ? 16:39, Jim Nichols <jhnichols at lighttube.net> a ?crit >> : >> >> Yesterday was a lousy day for outdoor shots, with clouds and light snow >> showers.
