    Here are a few bird photos that I took today. I'm starting to figure out how to get really sharp bird photos.

    • use a tripod
    • use a fairly short shutter speed - 1/200th -1/400th second
    • use a smaller aperture - f/5.6 - f/11
    • use a remote shutter release so you don't wiggle the camera

    Those are excellent pictures! And excellent tips too, as I came to the same conclusions last time I photographed birds. :) I'm surprised you still have snow. Here in Chicago we got very little snow that stuck around for the entire month of February. Looking forward to seeingmore of your pictures!

     I'd love to see some of your bird photos too. Here are a couple more shots that took this morning. 

    I'm really starting to like this 500mm (effectively 800mm) lens.

     This is one of our cockatiel chicks. Do you like the shallow DOF?
