Post your best bird shots!

Hmmm...seems to be a common problem here at the TDP forums. Perhaps a symptom of "L" disease?

You may be on to something

72!? I had a hb in my backyard continuously from sunrise to sunset all season long and I think I ended up with about 5 - 8 keepers! And they were only considered keepers out of desperation to end up with something! I agree, I bet you are well past 100 for what the rest of us would be proud to have taken!

Good luck this weekend, Bob but I think you are way to hard on yourself!

Thanks DD for the vote of Confidence, But seriously, I just haven't been able to get that dang Ghosting problem I am obsessed with.

+1 on what Pat said.

If you took the best of those 500 @#$%^&* shots and posted it, I bet a whole lot of people here would wish they could get one that good. You are going to be your worst critic.

Pat

Thanks again, guys and perhaps I am my own worst critic---aren't we all?---I guess that is what keeps us in the game.

On a positive note: I was out shooting at 6:00 am this morning and I think I got some winners. I shot about 700 frames and no ghosting. The birds were very active and I even had one land on my coffee cup. The main thing I changed was my shutter speed, i took it back up to 1/250th and I placed three lights on the bird and one on the background. I am still uploading them, so give me a couple of hours and I'll get a few more posted, Until then, Here is one. Thanks again for the encouraging words.
