re birds

Thanks again Baz for your critique,-yes the little fellow just hopped along the grass all afternoon and would not sit in a tree!Thanks David glad u liked.

Well done Paddy on the Canon L,I have enjoyed viewing your natural history images in the past-you got a good capture of a 'Dragon' lizard a good while ago.So look forward to seeing results of the new lens.

I have just started using AV mode for birding-apparently its used extensivelyby 'Bird Nerders', and adjusting exp comp as needed.Worth following up Paddy and having a go with it-I suspect with the IS on your lens it would really be good,I have no IS on my 400 prime-and in AV mode is does go down in speed a bit-so a few blurry one-but when it all come together some rather pleasing results.I have really only started using it in last week-here is a basic testing image of AV mode=iso320,speed400 AV set at 9 partial metering.Its a lot of hard working photographing small birds!Cheers
