Song Thrush
Canon 1D MKII, 600mm IS f4, 1.4x conv, f7.1, 1/1250, ISO 250, RAW, RSE, CS2, bean bag on car window ledge.

Hi All,

Had another morning in search of Corn Buntings and Stonechats with Stu. The Stonechats on occasions were very willing, whilst waiting for them a pair of Song Thrushes hopped by in search of food. Corn Buntings did show but not very close. Maybe tomorrow :wink:

All comments welcome

Regards

Rob

Did you wind your window down Rob? Just lacks clarity, I've had a fiddle hope you don't mind, levels and saturation.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for that. On posting looked a bit washed out, but looked fine in CS2, something must have gone a miss between saving and posting :frown:

Regards

Rob

Lovely bird. It can use some more sharpening if you ask me. But still a very nice shot.

Nice editorial comp Rob :toast:

It could do with taking out that blade of grass that's snaking up towards the birds beak - nice one :wavey:

Ooo...and that funny OoF HL to the left of the bird needs to go too Rob :wink:

Nice shot Rob, just looks a bit flat, but Tim's repost shows that the shot is in there. The wife's grandfather used to have one that would come in through the conservatory door and into the living room. Of course I never had a camera then. Where are they all?
