Quote from: Binary ShadowBest i could do, been really busy, wanted to get something better but just didnt have the time.

Its a better picture than you think, try shoving it through a photo enhancement package.

2 mins with FastStone image viewer:

And heres 10 mins with photoshop, little bit of levels, dodge/burn, contrast and then unsharpen mask.

Ive had a bit of success at last, but not with the Robins, instead a female blackbird. Just downloading the pics now!

I dont know if this is in the rules, considering its several images, I felt like trying something different though...imagine the sequence in the style of ninja cat.



If the multi image isnt allowed:

I think as a photo i might prefer the last one in the sequence. Has more depth and balance to it with the flowers in the background.

Great shots tho, nice work.

i missed a cracker today...
driving over the beacons there was a dead sheep on the road & a bird of praying feasting on it.. obviously I scared it off (well my van)
& it soared off... only camera I had was my iphone one, so couldnt be bothered to stop & ask it to say cheese.

Past the deadline and all, but thought Id share them anyways..

Youd have won if you posted any of those before the deadline tbh!

Nice pics mate, what lens did you use for those?

EF 70-200 F4L. The one you were tempted by ;-)

Pics taken on 40D, all at:

ISO 400
f/4
200mm hand tracked at high speed with it swooping past a balcony at range of 100-200m.
