I bought J1 and FT1 adapter a long ago and never really use it much, so I tried experimenting with bee eater today, this is what I got.

A real beauty Thanaboon! I like the details, exposure, colourful bird, composition, sharpness, red eye and BG is very complimentary.

I was just wondering if anyone was using these new mini mirrorless cameras for avian photography. Not a bad result from such a tiny sensor! Looks a little flat to me, could be the bright lighting. Maybe some more contrast? Excellent detail.

This is a stunning portrait. Lovely details and colors with a BG that works well.
