    Post your best bird shots!

    +1 Thanks for sharing the great shots! Over the last few days, I spent several hours trying the same thing...and didn't end up with anything nearly that nice Dave.

    Joel - I am always in awe of your photos too, I was curious if you would share how close (physically) you are to the birds like the blue bird for example. Of course, I understand if you prefer not sharing any secret recipes!

    Thanks, Brian

    Thanks Brian, appreciate the kind words. I have no big secrets however. I actually wrote a detailed tutorial here on this site explaining my set up with text and pictures. The shots I took in the last few days are from around 15 to 20 feet from the subject. I stay hidden with a camo blind and try not to move the lens around very much and when necessary I move very very slowly. Generally birds are extremely sensitive to sudden motion and will instantly flee in many cases, some are more tolerant than others. See if you can find my tutorial.
