    Sweet !

    Now u have this fella on a flower, pay attention to the BG and poise.
    WIth TC, try to shoot at least at F7.1 or not F8.

    Wait for the bird to have eye contact, looking at the lens.

    mervin,
    Thanks, that place was quite cluttered, really have to watch the bg,
    but sometimes I was so caught up I just fire away, end up with some
    pretty messy bg. These are the better ones

    Eugene, Benetay,
    Thanks. You guys should just go and try it out on Wed, with Mervin around to guide you, you should be able to catch some nice birds. I tried once and got addicted.

    Luenny,
    That place, while good for little birds is cluttered with lots of plants, which attracted the birds there. According to a shifu there, pick a nice flower with a good backkground and wait for the bird to perch there. But I was too impatient, got bird only shoot. Resulting in some messy background. I tried PS to make it better. How?
