Photos A few bird pics, let me know what you think :)

Testing out my sigma 75-300 today, would love some feedback on how you think it went

Robin

(...my knowledge on birds ends there)






Cute chicks!


And something different with some flowers


The lens used is about as old as me, and with that i get no aperture control with the lens but it looks good apart from that?

 

haha your chicks in the last photo are like out of focus? I like the flower shot a lot though. its pretty awesome theres a really nice flow to it. My favorite part of the photo would be the colors though.

 

Nice pics

The next 3 after the Robin are of a male Chaffinch and then it's a Blue Tit.

 

Thanks, i do agree with the chicks, cute little balls of fuzz look pretty much the same in focus or not through my viewfinder

Cute chicks today (in focus? )

Thanks The blue tit i should of known

 

they are some pretty nice shots i like

 

I love the tone to the photos. Brilliant light.

You seem to be having the same issues that I've managed to have when taking shots of birds in trees, other branches being in the dam way. Ends up with that wierd in out of focus effect.


This was taken on a 200mm. Would be alot better on the 300.



Do you read DSLR mag? Also produced by Dennis (who makes Bit tech and Custom PC)

 

Very nice shot, but i think i can see what you mean, the flowers look like the main interest rather than the bird but i'm no bird photographer, just saw lots in the trees and thought i would give it a try

And currently i don't have any money to indulge in any mags

 

Very nice images indeed, very well captured. I'm no photographer but I do take the occasional photo, here's one of some ducks at a Forest which is around 60 mile away from where I live. Nothing special, regular cheap camera but I think it's pretty nice, feel free to add this to your collection of bird photos if you wish (or have a bird album or whatever).

 

Really nice shot too, great reflections and the geese(? as started before i have no idea what anything is ) add a nice extra bit of detail

 

No idea, geese, ducks, what's the difference.

 

good point!

 

Clicky

Those black-necked things are Canada Geese.

 

Great bokeh Gav, excellent results. In fact first one is amazing.

 

Oh and about the out of foucs ducklings, the general rule is that if the eyes are in focus its cool. As thats the distinguishing point, or somethink like that.

The shot of the Robin is fanstatic.

Gav the woodpecker(? ) is great. Is the first bird tagged? (Right leg)

 

Lance
The blue one is a Nuthatch and yes, the long tailed tit is tagged - a lot of them are around here.

 

Very nice captures Gav.

 

wow beautiful pics.. love to see this
