You better belive it, more sunbirds...a little mynah told me that my blog is getting boring with all these birds! Anway today i tried soemthing different. I kept my lense to 200mm not to the maximum of 300mm as i did some research and found out that most of these non "l" lense have a bit of softening at the maximum focal length..i kept the aperture wide and the iso to 200 even though the sky was overcast but i did though a bit of flash in there to try and lighten up some detail of the bird. Shutter Speed was 1/80. I am only having trouble sorting out my metering but i think that will come in time. The ones with the close up of the bird are not resized, only cropped. The picture with abit of the tree is cropped and reduced in size so that you can have an idea of the
working conditions.

great pic's bro in law, very sharp pic of the sunbirds, maybe i should start upgrading my camera....
lol yes i am working! I spotted this fella while i was on my way to the clubhouse, so i dashed back set up my whole system and dashed back hoping the little bugger would stay there. And he did!I still need to do some adjusments to my settings to get the most out of the camera and lense but i am working on it!! ..........
I cant comment on the upgrading issue..i have been told to be silent! but i think your camera can do some great things its just a question of how! your zoom is longer then my telephoto!
