Thanks Frank. Birds can be fun. They never complain when you shoot them :-). No permission needed. Paul -- Original message -- From: frank theriault [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 3/5/06, Paul Stenquist [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Did a bird hike in the woods today. The

Re: PESO Robin

Thanks for your nice comments. And yes it's a Robin (erithacus rubecula). In the Netherlands we call it Roodborstje (red breast). It's a very funny bird and defends it's territory aggressively. I considered cropping the shot but I like it this way (very small bird against a big background) and

Subject: PESO Robin This week I enabled myself with a cheap Sigma A 5,6-400 mm and mounted the lens together with a Takumar-A 2x TC on my istD. http://360.leende.net/sigma400 Hope you like it. Not the greatest pictures and the lens could be better, but I enjoyed the wildlife

Re: PESO Robin

Wow, a Robin flame ;) I think I only confirmed it was a real Robin like you mentioned earlier. Which was very interesting for me since I never realized why they mixed up the common names. Toine Hey, I just tells them like they is. I doesn't make them up! Bob

PESO: Robin, Michigan Style

Did a bird hike in the woods today. The first robins of spring showed up this weekend. This guy is the common robin as seen throughout most of the US. Shot with the *istD, the A 400/5.6 and the Sigma 500 Super flash on high-speed synch setting with the Kirk flash magnifier attached. ISO 800,

Re: PESO: Robin, Michigan Style

Nice picture! Our European Robin's would abandon their territory immediately after spotting this giant. Toine On 3/5/06, Paul Stenquist [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Did a bird hike in the woods today. The first robins of spring showed up this weekend. This guy is the common robin as seen throughout

Re: PESO: Robin, Michigan Style

Hello Paul, A technically well done shot. The only downside for me is the bird is just sitting there - almost like it was stuffed. Somehow I'd like it be actively doing something. As it is, it would be a great shot for learning what this particular bird looks like. Food for thought. -- Best

Re: PESO: Robin, Michigan Style

Yep. When you've spent some time shooting birds, you come to realize that they're watching you when they're in profile. That's why you have to wait for a shot with the camera in place. If you raise the camera while the bird is in this position, he'll fly away. Paul On Mar 5, 2006, at 4:48 PM,

Nice photo, and nice bokeh from that lens, but I don't think it's a robin. Rick --- Toine [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This week I enabled myself with a cheap Sigma A 5,6-400 mm and mounted the lens together with a Takumar-A 2x TC on my istD. http://360.leende.net/sigma400 Hope you like

Re: PESO: Robin, Michigan Style

Although I've sold a few as stock, I don't shoot birds seriously. But I find it a relaxing diversion. I sometimes walk three miles through the woods without getting off a single shot, cut it's still a good time. Today I got four or five keepers in just a mile or so. That's rare in my
