So I finally put a couple of feeders out front, in the sunlight, set up my tripod, and happily clicked away. No, I clicked by hand, not a remote (I don't have a remote). I got so that I could anticipate bird movement. These were three photos I cropped, but otherwise they are right out of the camera. I think I had it set at automatic ISO and 1/400 of a second (if I remember correctly)...Anyway, I'll have to wait a couple of weeks to try to get more photos. Oh, and when I got home this afternoon, the Cooper's hawk chased off ALL the doves and went swooshing through our trees, without a meal again. ABC Wednesday for January 22, 2014..."birds"...

ReplyDeleteBirds are fascinating to watch.
ReplyDeleteLove the hawks but am glad the doves got away. Guess I am a softie.
Wonderful shots of the birds. Carver, ABC Wed. Team

I really MUST start using my tripod and experimenting with the manual on my camera. Love your shots.
