Could you come into better light please? You are facing the wrong way.

    Good series demonstrating the difficulty of getting our subjects to give us some cooperation.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks all. I'm glad I am not the only one who talks to the birds while trying to photograph them. rolleyes1.gif

    You need some bigger targets, Stephen.

    These little buggers will drive you nuts!:D

    A fun little bird to photograph. You need to get yourself a flash if you're going to shoot them in shadow. (It doesn't bother the small birds too much)

    #6 came out very nice! thumb.gif
