Winter Robins

Took a brave step today and decided to work with higher ISO's on the 7D - it paid off. I would normally stick around 100 to 200 or occasionally 400 as I know I will be cropping the images. Today I started at 400 and crept up to 800. This allowed me to shoot at around f7.1-8 for a much better result at 400mm. Occasional flash at -3 FEC helped a little.

Wow, great series. I wish our Robins looked like that.

Superb series. Great composition and nicely exposed.

Worked out well considering the ISO, Robins and Snow seem a great combination.

Absolutely beautiful shots! Well done indeed.

very nice Lawrence

Thank you all for the kind an favourable comments.

I'm really pleased with the results, and whilst I frequent the location probably every other weekend, the above series is one of the best results I've had (excluding summer sunshine).

Cheers
Lawrence
