Yes, agreed, it still works!mackguyver said:Thanks and no unfortunately not. He flew right in front of me and was already past me by the time I was able to zoom out. I think it still works, but sure, it would be nice to have his feet!Krob78 said:mackguyver said:One of my favorites so far for 2013:
Hey Mack, this is a great image! Do you have a version with his feet in the frame? That is the only thing missing for me, it's a great capture!

From the spring.... hope you enjoy them...The last one was a bit tricky trying to do everything with one hand while the bird hopped around on the other hand...Krob78 said:Don Haines said:
What a wonderful image Don! This brings me back to my boyhood! I grew up on Cape Cod and we had Chickadees all over the place! I never see them here in Central Florida but I'm told they're around...
I remember every winter, we would stand out on our back deck and have some suet and sunflower seeds in our hands and the Chickadees would come and actually land on our outstretched hands and take seeds and/or suet from us! It was really neat. I miss there song too!
Thanks for posting, it's a really sharp image! As Carol Burnett used to say, "thanks for the memories!"
Thanks. There is a lot of shade in the garden due to trees. The sun had just peeked over the clouds and so you see this mixture of light coming thru between the leaves and the shade.Krob78 said:rpt said:My muse is back! Yes, Mr. Hawk payed us a visit today. He came to cool his feet as you can see. I took 88 snaps. Various combinations of 100-400L and the 70-200L with and without the 1.4x. This one is with my 5D3, 100-400L+1.4xiii - so @540mm. 1/320, f8, ISO 320. I have not wiped off the EXIF so you can examine it.
I am entirely satisfied with both the lenses with and without the 1.4xiii. I have noticed that when the pictures are not sharp it is due to shake. AFMA values with and without the 1.4xiii is the same for both lenses! So AFMA of the 1.4xiii is 0. I am happy.
Very nice RPT! I like the lighting too!

Ha! Yes, Don! That's exactly what I'm talking about! Thank you so much! Very enjoyable for me indeed! I appreciate you taking the time to find them and post them... I miss those little rascals!
I remember when I was a kid, I had names for them and thought at the time that I could tell one from another from my backyard families of Chickadees! lol... I did learn their songs well and could call them in at almost anytime...
Thanks again my friend, that was very cool! 8)
