7th January 2004

Robin red breast.

I want you to imagine that there is no reflection off the back of the TV in the glass,
or in fact that the double glazing is not there at all.
Then you will be able to enjoy the sheer beauty of this little Robin as he looks for lunch.

Oh...I have just seen the vignette showing that I was not fully zoomed.

Who wants corners anyway.

I cleaned the table and gave the birds some nice fresh food.

Olympus E-20N
1/13s f/2.8 at 28.0mm iso80+ TCON-300S Lens (420mm Eqv.) full exif

I had no idea what this was when I saw the thumbnail. And I can't see the TV reflection either. Wonderful shot, despite your 'technical difficulties!'

He seems like he wants to be your friend!! I like this shot, and the edges don't bother me at all! I normally like the "rough around the edge look" but this is all soft and round...very nice!

LOL! Well, its a great shot - I have been stalking a robin that keeps coming into our garden, sits at the birdtable for the blink of an eye - then is shooed away by a dove! I commend you on your effort - well done!
