My little poser was doing his best today

Outstanding series,

Nice shots Dian...great sharpness, clarity and contrast especially for 1600 ISO. I would love to get my hands on the 400mm f/5.6 (was that the lens you were using?). Was this with a tripod or handheld? Nice job if it was handheld...you were at 1/500 of a second which is susceptible to handshake on a crop factor camera. Great job!

EDIT - oh never mind, I see you were using a 100-400 IS, which is another lens I wouldn't mind. I see that the IS helped out here if they were handheld shots.

Thanks, the eyepiece is just for comfort, no special reason for me having this on my camera, I find with macro you spend a lot of time with the cam stuck to your face while you chase the bugs about, helps keep the screen clean too ( marks from the nose etc )

Thanks. Maybe will need one when (if) a macro lens lands in the bag.

Female cardinal I shot this morning.

Great shots Dian.

Roger's reminded me to post a few from the other day. Great shot btw, I have never seen a female.

Male friend for your female. hehe.

Fantastic cardinals!

Great bird shots everyone, not my cup of tea, but I can still appreciate them.
If I took pictures of birds round here you would get hundreds of pics of skanky pigeons and the odd scrawny seagull.

Have never seen pics of "skanky" pigeons and never seen a scrawny seagull. Post some please.

Cool bird shots Bobo!

Here is my hummingbird photo from today. Kinda dreamy as he is sleeping.

Thanks Troy. Nice ones you have posted. You are lucky to have them around.

This is the only shot I was ever able to get.
