Show your Bird Portraits

Again, very interesting. I live with a Grey Parrot so some of the moves seem familiar. Like when a feather gets stuck on their nose. National Geo. had a video of a kill in the grouping of yours. Very tough to follow that bird!

I may be lucky enough to witness a kill if I wait long enough (fingers crossed) but will probably be very lucky to get good shots let alone video. Usually when they are flying I switch to stills as I can just about manage to keep them in viewfinder but video using live view... that's a whole new world..!

martinslade, from my experience good things happen when you persist. The biggest problem is fatigue - the moment you relax the action always seems to happen. Will be fun to see more.

Simple image of a Dunnock in tricky lighting. Taken with the new 7dii and 100-400ii lens. A brilliant combination and very sharp.

Took my camera to the lab again and cycling back manage to get a shot or two of a female yellowhammer. The first is sharper but I prefer the slightly different angle of the face in the second. 562mm on the 150-600mm Sigma C on 5DS R at f/6.3 (is there a different aperture) and the usual iso 640. DxO with USM 0.9 px at 100% with no other PP as usal.

Nice shots, Alan. I prefer the first one.

Both are nice.

First time photographing some Hummingbirds this year. It was pretty exciting for me since last year I was only using a 70-200 on the 5d and that was not enough reach.

Your comments remind me of my first hummer shots. Don't see too many RT's around here and then I discovered that the touch-me-nots at the slew were attracting them and I got many shots - but not one male! Exciting indeed.

Hi Ryan.
Some beautiful shots, really like the little fellow in the frame, how obliging.

Cheers, Graham.
