You're certainly getting nice detail, Alan. This is good work. I've had a bit of luck attaching natural material to a feeder and, of course, prefer it to the plastic perch look. I've, also, used "catch in focus" successfully, but it takes some setting up and is somewhat tedious.

It took the birds several days to find it but now we have a daily bun fight. We must be feeding birds from far & wide because they are consuming about 1kg of seed a day! 6 species so far. The photography is quite difficult because the birds are very skittish & one needs to get with 5m. Then the question of exposure. A high ISO is necessary to get a high enough shutter speed for hand-held work & unfortunately the K7 sensor is a bit noisy. Noise reduction smoothes the detail too much. I am on a learning curve here so any helpful comments are gratefully encouraged. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/sets/72157645127985880/ Alan C --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
