A few front yard friends

Fantastic, Mike! Gives new meaning to "the best part of waking up". But, what I really want to know is, how do you get them to pose with the appropriately colored backgrounds? You've got some well trained front yard birds there!

 

No fair Mike
You got them trained and those that are not trained are stuffed, I just know it....
Her I am with a little bird feeder .. Not place to set things up. Got a cardinal family and can't get pics. Well I have one pic of a male cardinal.. but not good enough.
I don't think I even like you anymore...(no less though)...rofl

Further more I am not going to tell you how beautiful these are:>)))))

 

Incredible Mike and I really love the side ligting looks so natural!!!

 

My question to Mike is how do you have your camera ready with you all the time? Do you keep it by your bedside too when you go to bed? :biggrin: The first goldfinch and the female cardinal are just outstanding.

 

Beautiful set. All sharp and clear with beautiful colors.

 

Nice shots Mike. The male cardinal is exceptional.

 

Mike, simply awesome. All of them are super sharp with lots of detail.

 

That's a super series, but the red cardinal is staggeringly good. Great work.

 

Simply awesome, Mike. Taking morning coffee with cooperative bird friends, it's a dream for me!!!

 

Look and learn.

 

Beautiful photos Mike. The lighting is very good. Did you use a Better Beamer on these?

 

Lovely shots Mike,liked the Cardinal alert pose!!

 

Another incredible series Mike, well done.

This a fantastic collection of images. Many thanks for posting.
I assume it is 300 2.8 + TCEII 2.00 in action.
Are you using a flash extender with SB800 here?

Thanks,

 

Hi Mike,
Nice work, as usual. It is good to have some warm weather and more birds.:smile:

 

Another marvelous set Mike.
