Joe Elway’s hide:lol: :lol: :lol:
I like what you were trying in the first shot. Difficult though.
The robins are soft. Even in my hide last week, I couldn’t get a Robin. Annoyingly, I could hear one right near the hide but he/she never came into view.
One comes near our feeders but wants nothing to do with them, even though I’ve got feed for Robins. I’m coming to the conclusion that they might be the most difficult of the common garden birds to get a good shot of. I get lots of long distance or blurry shots …. never a good one though.
i had a robin sit next to me for 5 minutes without moving and one dance around my feet for those shots it just seems that things that
look in focus in the viewfinder arent alot of the time, i really have to move off the auto settings, the only thing i use it manual
focus and that doesnt seem to work out,If you want to use manual – tough with normal wildlife – then you need to make sure what you are seeing in the viewfinder is correct for your eyes. You can do this by:
– Set up your camera on a tripod
– Use AF to focus on somethign with strong sharp lines.
– Adjust the dioptre (spelling – the wheel on the side fo the viewfinder) to make what you see in the viewfinder is sharp.Take some AF shots and some MF shots and check out how they compare.
