The bird photos displayed in this gallery are all photographed with my Nikon 1 V1 and V3 cameras with the excellent Nikon 1 VR 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 lens. This lens gives a 190-810mm FXe FOV, and is easily handholdable at 300mm down to 1/60s due to a very effective VR build into the lens. If you're interested in this lens, I have written my N1 70-300mm CX experience report at DPreview

All pictures are NEFs converted and processed with Nikon Capture NX2 and downsized to 1400x933 pixels for this web gallery. The original files are typically cropped to between 70-90% of original width/height depending on the distance and size of the bird. The cropped files are then typically between 5-8MP for the V1, and 9-15MP for the V3.
