Robin with prey
This is one of my earliest images taken on a digital camera. I was very late coming into the digital age as I was reluctant to part with my EOS 3 bodies for what I thought was a bit of a 5 minute wonder. So when does the 5 minutes end and guess who still has one of those EOS 3 bodies?
EOS 20D
Sigma 500mm
exp 1/160 @ f10, iso 200

Very nice capture made all the better by he/she having lunch. Now watch somebody pop up and say its a shame the eye is in shadow, me I like it how it is. :toast:

Does this make him the UKs smallest raptor :biggrin:

Nice capture of a "vicious killer" Richard :toast:

Bad news though Richard, the 5 minute wonder will never end - not when you've been playing with the bit of kit I've had hold of today - Hassleblad H something or other with a Phase One digi back, courtesy of a certain gentleman forum member - believe me, it's enough to make you want to sell your soul :eek:
