These guys are a PITB but after about an hour a pretty good shot, I think. Could have used more DOF maybe:dunno Gloomy out and I was trying to keep the shutter speed up and never thought to up the ISO.

    Maybe you could have had more DOF but the bokeh is very nice. I like the unique position of the bird, as you noted the lighting is somewhat dull, will that damn sun every come back out ne_nau.gif

    Sun? Out? Nope. I am getting so use to shooting in gloom that when the sun was out, really out, the other day I muffed every shot. There is an ISO 100 on that camera, you can stop down...DOHeek7.gif

    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!"
