bird shots you say..here are afew of mine

yes two are "small" because I simply uploaded them from my dA account and since the full size is too big I just instead uploaded the preview version which is smaller.. while the big one just fitted in :)

Now i will start to post many birds shots, just please forgive me if they are too much, but i ask for forgivness as the shots are all not so good, just snapshots to share, Enjoy!

Thanks. It was a setup. I dug a hole and put the cedar tree trunk about 8 feet from a window. I covered the window with newspaper and cut out a hole for the S2 to shoot through. Used a tripod - and waited, knowing they (most birds) love suet.

Another setup. This is a greedy one!

See if this works

And a couple more

First saw these at work! nicely caught birds in flight 52fazer600. I just dont seem to have the reflexes to get shots like that.

I need more zoom =(

Slowing things down a bit.

I couldn't resist showing off my bird in a "Bird" thread. My photos aren't that great (taken with a Canon S2), but I love the subject.

Bird resting in evening sun...

great shot.

Canadian Geese dont like Herons. I wish I was more ready for this shot though. Would have been much better

Well, that's a very lovely shot, Bynx!

my first ever bird shot that worked. only cos the sucker stayed still. :D
if your wondering why my iso is so high its cos i'm an idiot and forgot to change it and if your wondering why my TC was on with such a short focal length its cos i didn;t have time to take it off. :mad:
