This bird is distant for me when the sun shines and at all other times it is too dark and gloomy, hence the 'noise' in the above photograph. I will endeavour to get a better shot, until then you can see the bird in more glory at Roy's or Mike's respective blogs HERE and HERE. Enjoy.
Its that hat you wear John, frightens him.{:))
ReplyDeleteIts a pretty good shot under the circumstances John.
How dare you Roy! ;) Thanks, I just wish the circumstances would have been different!

HI John At least you did see it adnget a shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret! Very true, I know. I must concentrate on the birder in me, not the photographer!

'A' for effort John, keep on trying.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike! A for effort, U for result!

Hi John. You are very generous to your fellow Bloggers and they do have very nice pictures but I like the out-of-focus background in your photo. I suppose it's difficult to get real depth-of-field in a distance shot?

Hi Bazza,
DeleteA case of scratching backs etc etc! Depth of field is a difficulty when using a zoom lens, basically, with the one I have you don't get depth of field!

I would be pretty darn happy with that image!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lou Mary! I am comparing it with others and find it coming up short!
