    Have not been shooting lately due to heavy work commitments and the very RECENT birth of my daughter.

    She is only 13 days old ! and she is not even registered yet !!!!

    However, managed to get a few hours time off from the Mrs and shot this fella in a neighbourhood park.

    very nice bokeh man!
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Excellent indeed! The first shot is almost gravity defying.

    Cheers,

    Very nice shots and congrats on your newborn. By the way, I notice you use flash for these shots. How far is the subject? Can your flash reach?

    distance.....i am not so sure but the pixs are 80-70% of full frame.

    the flash was just a fill, just enough to "lightly paint" the bird, the chest "blows" very easily.
