demonwolf444 Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 The wagtail is quite atmospheric in the rain! Straight shooting as always! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 The camera is nowt fancy. A Canon 1200 with their basic 55 and a 300 mm lenses. I was tempted to get a 100d. It seemed a much better camera. I don't like the multi focus points on the standard settings at all! Find myself using the manual settings and fiddling! They let you just use a central focus point then but the camera does not remember some of your set if you turn it off! Ahhhhhrrrr! :-) U.

JDog Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I believe that the bird is a green sandpiper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickersonBen Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 If that bee had got any closer to those seed pods it could have had its head blown clean off!! Looks like Japanese Balsam with its exploding seed pods? Look forward to seeing more pics with the new toy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
