DSC_6704.JPG

Chaffinch in flight alighting on the feeding stand. This kind of shot, including the following two are taken in very good morning light from the left with the tripod at high iso and speed to catch the bird in action. The 6.3 opening provides enough depth of field to catch the whole image. Hardly any pp in these cases but A LOT OF PATIENCE...

Nikon D300
1/1000s f/6.3 at 500.0mm iso2000 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Lovely shot of the landing. I haven't attempted many moving shots like this. However the RSPB did a promotion in the woods near us recently and I was able to grab this one (he was only 15 feet away from me):
