Another bird picture
After the levity of the clown birds, I felt we needed something a bit more nailed to the perch, so to speak. This little guy sat there for long enough to take my camera out, mount it to the tripod, use two different camera positions, 30 feet apart, and finally to mount the teleconverter before leaving. He was also kind enough to give me two different locations, this one being the nicer. Anyway enough about me, http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrobb/pictures/new/robin2.html K20D, A600mm f/5.6 + A1.4L Teleconverter ISO800, f/9, 1/100 second.

Re: Another bird picture
Very nice Bill, The bird is sharp and the background/bokeh is very good. He looks a little unkemped though, like he didn't groom his feahers. Was he in the process of fluffing up a bit?

Re: Another bird picture
The brd and the twig are fine. very fine. But the background isn't pleasing to my eye. I really have to strugle to keep them fokused at the motif.

Re: Another bird picture
You certainly took best advantage of a very accommodating model. You, the camera/lens/TC did good.

I like it. Nice detail on the bird; as a few have said, the background is a bit problematic, but hell, given what you had to work with, I think the lens handled it pretty damned well. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
