Now that I'm living in an area with birds, I'm finding out how
difficult they are to shoot.
This is a terrifically sharp shot. Wonderful light and composition.
Thanks!

Re: Fw: PESO: Catch-In-Focus (RE DO)
Thanks, Brian! You probably know exactly how to do such, but start off with Custom Function #34.(I forgot about that initially). Use either a MF "A" lens or a AF with a MF option switch and AF-S focus.

Re: Fw: PESO: Catch-In-Focus (RE DO)
Well, he's so temperamental he refuses to work with me. Spoiled!! This is a "Trap Focus" with the lens set on MF and the body AF-S. Shutter won't release unless in focus..as I'm sure you know. Check it's beak and head ares which will indicate sharp focus in that area. Their feathers are so fine, they're difficult to pick up as fine detail. The lens was set at 65mm (not 135mm) and I could have been even closer. The full size file holds more detail. Thanks for comments, Larry.

Lovely colors, and quite reasonably sharp especially at (at most) 135mm, but not so sharp as to negate any excuses for longer glass. Maybe you focused just slightly in front of it? No matter, I'd be chuffed to get a bird picture that clear myself. Rather than square format, I'd crop a bit off the right side for a portrait format putting the eye at the right 1/3 axis rather than the center axis, though cropping the left may work as well and still show some of that pretty blue sky through the trees in the background.
