Hi All,
Thanks,for the very kind comments.
The pic was just zoomed,on the camera,to get rid of the vignette,
and slightly sharpened,using Canon's zoombrowser 5.8
To be honest,I was just checking out a little "Made in Ussr "8-20 x 32mm spotting scope that had just arrived from Ebay.
I was sitting on our bed,using the scope through the open window,and had pressed the shutter button halfway,to check focus was ok,ON THE DOVE,
Balancing,zoom,and focus,on this little scope,is tricky.
Just as I pressed the shutter all the way down,the Galah,had landed on the feeder.(hence the wings outstreched)
Probably,would never get another shot like it,if I tried.
Just pure luck.
Pic included,of the scope.
It's no ED 80,but, optics, although Small 32 mm, are very good,especially for $26.00.
Its,a lot lighter,just for a quick look too.
Regards.John
