    Blue tit portrait

    Just managed to keep this a decent shot (I think) DOF could be deeper, and just got away with the shutter on it. Lucky shot, but I love it.


    Blue Tit     by Lennoxtown Wildlife, on Flickr

    1D Mark IV
    70-200 2.8L @ 200mm
    ISO640
    1/400th
    f/4

    The Mark IV is pretty phenomenal. I would go as far as to say it knocks blocks off my 5D3. IQ wise, I don't know yet, haven't been out with both, but I haven't used the 5D3 since I got this so...

    Cheers,

    Paul

    ...and you should love it. It's an excellent shot. Bird photography isn't normally my thing but that is a great image.

            I like that, DoF may be shallow but I didn't think the image suffers for it.

              It's ok when you get away with it, usually side on birds are ok but that's too 2D for my liking. I like more of a difference in the shots. Took about ten mins of crouching on the one spot before he landed on the fence though. I used to change the BG on my shots but this is 100% natural.

                  Thats a wee beauty.
                  Body and Lens combination is obviously the business, but that takes nothing away from the photographer.
                  Good eye for the shot and well taken Paul.

                      That is wonderful Paul. He/she looks a very proud bird I must say.

                            Great shot Paul
                            I like the composition - if mine I would be tempted to add a little space for the bird to look into
                            Cheers
