Really beautiful (both, the birds and the execution of the photos)!The male Painted Bunting from Texas. Same settings as female.
I've been away from this thread for a while. View attachment 184692 I really enjoy seeing great bird photos from all around the world!
Now you have had the 60-600mm sigmonster lens longer, what are your thoughts on its performance? There is little on the web, and it does have an intriguing focal length range.This one seems to be Red-winged Blackbird. But I have never seen any with this feather pattern and this angry!
EOS-R with Sigma 60-600mm, @600mm, f/6.3, ISO1000.
Beautiful shots, I look forward to their return every year. It is really hard to tell the difference at this stage, but if you see him singing that's a give aways.Female (or maybe immature male) Painted Bunting in north-central Texas. (F 7.1, 1/500, ISO 1000, Canon 100-400 ii at 400 mm. 5D iv.)View attachment 184690
I feel a bit of Tit for mixing up my tits. Of course you are correct.It's a Great Tit. Here's a Coal Tit I took a couple years back with a 7DII.View attachment 184703
+1 Lovely setting. Cute bird. Edit: nasty bird. >)https://globalnews.ca/news/4844790/great-tits-killing-eating-brains-migratory-birds-climate-change/Very nice shots, Hector.
The copy that I have borrowed is very good. On 600mm it is a tad sharper than 60mm. During the past 3 weeks on EOS-R the AF has been fast and consistent and keeper rate has been good and comparable to EF 100-400 LII for slow moving birds. For BIF, the combo struggles to consistently get good shots. There is an additional switch mode to override AF and stay there, but I have not used it yet. Perhaps it is more useful for BIF. Using it handheld is ok because of the balance of the lens as it is not front heavy. To carry, It fits into LowePro 450AW backpack. The 60-600mm range allows me to take this as the only lens for a day trip.Now you have had the 60-600mm sigmonster lens longer, what are your thoughts on its performance?

Well, if he took the first one while digging - it's my favorite: it says DEDICATION!Very nice pictures, Jack. I especially like the second one.
I don't really shoot birds but couldn't resist this one of a brown boobie shot a couple of days ago. With an iPad...View attachment 184709
