Happy Easter all,

Here is one taken yesterday in the back garden. I was attracted by the white clouds and blue sky so I set about trying to photograph the garden Robin.

Canon 1D MK3, 24-70mm, f14, 1/2000,

C&C welcome.

Austin

A great shot that i would imagine that was hard to capture :cool:

I'm in two minds about the branch ?

A superb shot, a faultless piece of work, just needs a bit of work on the tip of the branch, easily fixed.

Small species flight shots. Now that is a class shot and so difficult to capture.

Very impressive Austin. I think that the twig helps to give sense of direction.

Very nice shot Austin. Is this done with a remote or just hand held?

Hi all,
Thanks for your comments.
Major, I used a tripod and a cable release for this image. This Robin is almost tame and very curious. It follows me around the garden some days.

Cheers

Austin

Excellent stuff, caught at just the right moment. I like the twig it looks like the Robin is aiming for it.
