An old dog learns new tricks.
Lens: sigma 50-500 Camera: k5 IIs Photo Location: Saugus ISO: 400 Shutter Speed: 1/160s Aperture: F6.3

It took me a couple of days to refine my technique for these shots.The robin's nest is 50 ft.away and it is sorta dark under the eaves so I used my YONGNU YN560 III flash at 1/2 power to brighten up the area.I'm 75 and still learning--charliezap

Hey Capn - glad to hear you're busy. Yeah, I'm on Facebook, although I barely know how to use it.
