First Attempts.

While listening to the cricket I was just snapping away in the garden trying to capture small birds in flight, here are some of my trials.

Goldfinch - 1/1250 @ f/5.6 - ISO 3200 - tamron at 300mm

As always C & Cs encouraged.

Re: First Attempts.

I really like that 2nd image Tom. Nice wing movement and the bird is sharp.

Small birds are very difficult to get in flight so well done Tom

Re: First Attempts.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting Stan and Tom. The second is probably my favourite, it's a shame I couldn't get the first and last goldfinch a little sharper as I really like those two too. Not sure whether I'm asking a little to much from my little 60D, nevertheless, I am pleased with the relatively manageable noise I produced at the higher ISOs.
