a bonus bird shot from my trip to Legoland today, the 135mm2.0 was my only lens.

Thanks JJ, your RWB is cool,


I like the pattern on the top of his back.


The natural perch is a plus too.

Another of my recent HB series. I like this one because I can actually see the eye through the wings.


Same set up with the 1D3, 300mm 2.8L and 4 flashes.

JJ, you did this bird justice, Sharp, clean background, great colors,


Nice shot.


Bob

Wow, JJ! You make me want to shoot birds with my 135mm to see what I can come up with! Beautiful photo!


I know shooting birds on a feeder is a major no-no but I just couldn't resist this one ...

Cute interaction shot Denise....looks just a tad under exposed on my monitor but the sharpness is excellent and the BG is awesome.

Thanks, Joel! And you are right, now that I look at it again. I mostly worked in post on the overexposed feeder and birds wings on the left that were in direct sun but now I see I may have left the bird on the right and the front of the left bird that was in the shade underexposed.


Easy fix, thanks for pointing it out to me!
