http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18307583&size=lg For this one I put on the DA 1.4 AF converter and slowed the shutter speed down to 1/80th, I was able to get the ISO down to about 1500. (The bird, a Junko, was also in better light.) http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18307586&size=lg The much slower shutter speed works fine if the bird down’t move, but if he takes off I’ll lose what might be a good shot. Tons of fun in the backyard.I shot the pics sitting in a lawn chair with the camera on a tripod. I think sitting s a plus because it minimizes my size. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Great images, it's now too cold to sit in the garden here. I can see major expense coming up as I love that D FA 150-450. I'm also impressed at how well the picture holds up at 28000 ISO. At this time of year, I'm often only able to get out when it's getting dark, and high ISO ability is often the only way I'm going to get the picture I want. It's opened up a new world for me with street photography.
