    Default Long Tailed Tits

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Taken through the room window. Perch above a feeding table. Not difficult to get a bunch of these together as they feed in family groups.
    Tit on the right not too sharp but can't win 'em all !
    Passing blue tit removed from back
    IQ not the best in the world but sometimes we have to give a little I feel.

    D200 Sigma 100-300 mm
    EV down 1
    iso 800 180th @f7
    Levels/gamma and resize/resharp in PSP7
    Sorry- blurred great tit tail taken out of top right corner as well
    About 65% of full frame.
    Thanks for comments on last pic

    I love group shots and this one made me smile. These "three amigos" are nicely photographed. Thanks for sharing it. It is a very cute shot.

    Thanks both. I think the lens was on about 200 mm so theres a fair bit of DOF- its the bird movement thats the problem - and the light was not good- at least not a contrast problem !
    Thanks

    Great capture John! Cuteness dominates everything else in this shot. Is this handheld?

    No Sridatta ( Hope the wife isn't nearby !!) Its an adapted tripod. Two legs on the wide window sill and the third down to the floor. I also hand a blacksheet up around the window frame. Not just to hide me- but stops reflections in the glass.
    Cheers
