Post your best bird shots!

[Fast Glass]

While I am waiting for someone to post a film bird picture, I will have to entertain myself with this one.[]

This was taken with my Rebel k2, Minolta 600mm f/6.3, fujifilm ISO 200 speed film.


Hope you all like it,


John.

Rule #1 not to break - always bring the better camera with you. During a trip to visit family in the north I took the children sled riding (a first for them) and brought my wife's A470. I'll title this picture "High Hopes", as in I hope that my photography skills improve greatly during 2010.


Have a great New Year.

Awesome thread! Here's one of my favorites:

Also, just for completeness, here's every bird I've ever seen in my entire life:

Thank you for the nice words, Oren. I've modified the post with a larger version of the first photo; the second one's too wide and gets cropped off, so I'll leave it as-is for now.

Beautiful pictures Aaron, can you post larger versions?


Welcome to the forums by the way []

Also, please remember to post technical specs on your shots. We newbies can use them to better our own techniques, you know!

Taken at Irvine Regional Park in Irvine, CA. Heard the news of a pair wintering there, gotta come and try my luck.

This is awesome, Nate! What I wouldn't give to have something like this to photograph in Wisconsin!
