It's hard enough when they sit still but you guys and ladies that shoot BIF...hats way, way off. Even as a sports guy, shooting BIF is a whole different can of worms!

1D2 / 85 f/1.8

1D3 / 70-200 II (and a dirt window "filter" as it was too cold for this sissy to be out shooting)

Hoping to learn a bit more about this BIF shooting so what better place to learn than the bird forum!

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

you're too kind but thanks for sure. We have a decent birding spot about an hour from my place in Maumee so once the weather breaks, I have to get at the BIF thing!

haha, I was lucky that my son had been volunteering at our local nature center so I got in the cage during feeding. you can tell from her look that dinner wasn't going to be shared!

Those are real nice! The Eagle is real nice but I think the first Robin reaching out to grab a berry is one of the best Robins I have ever seen, just a great shot. You better be careful or you will really be wanting that 300 2.8 again, I hear long glass in your words, lol, Well done!

Years of therapy after selling that 300 and it obviously was all for not! Thanks for the kind words (hopefully my wife will have some for me after I tell her I'm buying some new long glass!).
