    Hi Guys,

    I have not been out and about much with the camera in a long time. I have been looking to get a good pic of a robin for ages now. Let me know what you think of this one.

    I'm thinking in going to have to lash it into photoshop and expose the robin (+1), dont have it on this computer so I will show you what I have for now.

    Yeah the Robin in the shadow is a major problem....also while I like the composition the Robin is just too small in it and you have to search for him.

    Yeah. I think I feel the same. God Damm Robins!

    I need a more powerfull lens. Or some kind of stelth suit.

    I'll try crop it a bit tighter.

    Thanks for the input.

    Dave.

    Get yourself to the Botanic Gardens. The ones there would start a fight with you. I could almost touch this guy and I wasn't wearing a stealth suit. 70-200 lens at 200. No crop.

    Yeah, you definately need to just zoom with your feet (OP, not bovril !). Robins are usually easy enough to get pictures of. They're pretty bold so you can normally jam a lens right up into their little peckers. I took this one a couple of weeks back. Cropped a small bit to get it into landscape but that was it.

    Sorry, can't access flickr in work so can't get the proper URL for the image.
