ONe of the Carolina Wren's from a few days ago. They just sit and sing and flitter around. 45 minutes out back with the birds and a camera is better than 45 minutes on a couch with some shrink...the 200-600 gets picked up again tomorrow...I might have to just cave in and buy one soon...I keep renting it...this was at 600
and then cropped to 50% of the original frame. Still plenty sharp for me.

I should probably dedicate this to Gene. He is bringing out a Frankenstein in me, shooting stuff I never dreamed of doing! Though I'm way below his league. Using available ceiling lighting.
This is not rare but not always stocked.

Lightly peated - that's nicely smoky to you. Islanders were a superstitious lot in the past. As a nod to them, and to our island home, still dotted with ancient stones and markings, we called this expression Superstition. When you raise a glass of this whisky, you're raising a glass to the ancient ways of our island.

Would love to see more shots. I have the Fuji GF 120mm f4 macro and don't use it much so would like to sell it. Sigma will be much cheaper. I was thinking 90mm f2.8 but reviews on it are so so as it seems lot of copy variation which I didn't believe would happen in this mirrorless age. Maybe I should just stick with the 90mm TS-E as it can do some macro.

I probably wont be able to until the weekend. My developing tank showed up today so need to process my first roll of film from the Wista 4x5 doing 6x9.

An adjustment to wb would help a lot, right now it is all warm tones and the spirit doesn't show well in the bottle.

Very good price Lee, cheapest on eBay is £1430 and that will be grey market

My bad. It wasn't that cheap! It was equaling grey though going by that you've just said ^^

Yeah I am not much of a TV person, most nights I sit at my computer editing. Maybe sim racing...

The perches I have set up are near feeders, so they are all waiting in line!

Check out Alan Murphy from naturescapes.net. I am not sure if he still shooting or not. One of the best perches you will ever see.

Would you please post a shot of your perches? Now that the 200-600 is on the way, I'm going to set some perches down near the creek and just looking for some examples of what others have done.

I'd be curious to see what you are using as well.

I'm contemplating setting up a feeder and some perches as well this year but I'm still undecided. I had a feeder out last winter and although it attracted a fair amount of birds it seemed to attract an equal amount of rodent ( common problem here in the city ) even with rodent proof seed.

To better show the contents of the bottle, sometimes the back label needs to be removed if there is one and a reflective foil type paper cutout set up at an angle behind the bottle to reflect light through the liquid.

Based on Miranda1's recommendation, I picked up a bottle of Lagavulin 16 Yr Scotch Whisky. I'm looking forward to trying it later today. (I reflected light through this bottle)
