f8, iso 1600 ( a cloudy day ), 1/400 or so. 400 5.6+extender. Hopefully the practice will pay off if I ever make it to merrit island:rofl

    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 Thusie, I haven't seen the dove hanging around before. I got a bird table and was hoping to attract the smaller birds but the crows and magpies are hogging the food.

    Picture perfect, Seamus! Great job on those. thumb.gif

    It's always nice seeing the local fauna from other places.

    I'm having bird envy. Wonderful shots. I don't think you need to practice much.. you seem to have it down pretty well with these shots!!
