May 09, 2006 00:43 | #1 I sat outside with my son for a couple of hours this past Saturday. We just stat as still as we could in some chairs behind the tripod. We were about 60 feet or so from the birds in these photos.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

I agree with Pete, I would place a long branch just above the feeder (2 feet or so) which would give you a natural looking perch to shoot at. Get closer (I put a chair in front of me to partly hide my form about 20 feet away) and sit very still, with the camera already pointed at the branch. Then just shoot away. Dennis

May 09, 2006 21:39 | #7 Thanks for all the comments. The 70-200mm f/4L is the longest piece of glass that I have currently. Well, I take that back. I do have a 70-300mm f/4-5.6, but I would venture to guess that the IQ of the photos would not be the same as those from the L. Kerry Sanders | flickr
