Nature How did I forget this shot?

How did I forget this shot? · **3 Likes**

I must be getting old and senile or maybe it's the red solo cups.

.Yesterday I posted some natural light hbird pics but not this one.I looked at it closely today and thought it was the best of the bunch.This was taken with the Bigma at 10-12ft distance at 290mm and cropped.What I want to do next is use the K5 in movie mode and get a clip of him buzzing around the feeder.A great Mother's Day to all.--charliezap

Damn they don't get much better than that one. Well done.

He's a beaut!

Wow, it's like he has a sequined collar! What a cracker!

Thanks Dave.I took a 30sec video with the K5 and Pentax 18-250 lens from 2-3ft distance that I will post later.I may even try it using the Bigma.--charliezap

He is a strikingly handsome fellow. The colors around the neck are just stunning. Well done Charlie.

They are very pretty to say the least and very co-operative.--charliezap

The nice part about these fellas is that you can stand right next to the feeder and watch them feed.

That is a great shot with him/her sitting still. I can't say I have ever seen one not moving.
