Originally posted by photolady95 Birds need faster than 1/125s to keep their movements from blurring your photo. With that lens you're using, shutter speed should have been 1.5x 200mm = at least 1/300s but I can tell you even that isn't fast enough to stop bird movements. 1/500s is the slowest I use on my bird shots. Birds move whether you see the movement or not. Next time try a faster shutter speed.
Oh I know, I don't usually shoot birds, but I do sometimes, and have a few nicely tuned images, I just happen to like that image

Originally posted by Tonytee I see what you are saying. I was just looking at your photo again and noticed the green border on the branch above the subject's head. Unfortunately this happens with telephoto lenses. The only way to correct it is PPE. Another way would be to invest in an upgrade. All in all, I like the photo and look forward to more of your work.

My K1 arrives this week, the Tamron 70-200 2.8 I have at a few months, I just like to play with these old lenses, the day I took that picture, my main objective was improving my manual focus skill.
