Bluetits, Dunnock, Fieldfare, Chaffinch & Robin

Went a run down to Lochwinnoch today to shoot some birdies as it looked like it was going to be a cloud free and bright day. It was lovely up untill I arrived at Lochwinnoch then the clouds rolled in and of course the light was terrible. I used my 50d for the first few shots but quickly changed over to my 5d MKII for the rest of the day.

This first shot of a Bluetit was shot at ISO 4000, yes 4000 and no in camera noise reduction used as I have it disabled. This shot is really straight out the camera appart from a crop. This camera continues to amaze me

1)Bluetit. f5.6, 1/200sec exp, ISO 4000, exposure bias +2 stops


2)Bluetit ISO 1250


3)Chaffinch ISO 1000


4)Fieldfare ISO 1600


5)Bluetit ISO 1250


6)Dunnock ISO 3200


7)Robin ISO 1000


8)Bluetit ISO 1600

Gorgeous shots DJ, Really like the Fieldfare! Hoping to photo some this year, but won't hold my breath, it's not like we have anywhere here with feeders or that attract these sort of birds. We get them here, but just not photographable! Waders all the way!

I love your bird shots, thanks for sharing!

Beautiful shots, DJ - the OOF background really enhances the subject, but I really like the two where you see more of the bird's environment.
