Lovely snow fall today. I didn't get a chance to get out and fully appreciate it but I did get a few shots of the robin that visits my garden. I've not really posted much on here of late so thought I'd share todays 'armchair' photography. Taken from my living room and shot through the double glazing! Its the best hide I've ever sat in thats for sure
This little chap was pretty deep in to the snow!
D2x, 200-400 VR at 400mm, 1/125 second at f5, ISO 400
And here he is again, not %100 sure on the background but at least his beak falls inside the darker area so it shows the snow on the beak a bit more. (again shot through the closed window)
All good fun though, and the best attempts at a robin so far!
Both nice shots... the first really does perhaps need a tad more DoF (not easy looking at the techs) but a great pose, the second I am not keen on the bg.
p.s. fancy coming and cleaning my windows

Both very nice Robin images and I find the BG on the second is more than OK as the bird stands out really well!
