Visited a friend this week and chit-chatted about cameras and live in general. Took a photo in relatively low light with a Novoflex Adapter and a 55mm manual focus lens.

Kind of like the look. Tough to focus though. This camera allow focus highlighting, and focus peaking. But not together. Go figure...

That's a very attractive portrait.

Good pose.

However, are you sure you don't want to show the striking eye colour that's usual for these birds?

Nice set.

I'm beginning to think that B&W shows the personality of the bird better than colour. Or is it just my imagination?

Great tit in snowfall.

Coal tit

Long-tailed tit

Long-tailed tit

But my favourites are the crested tits. They are so expressive!

Crested tit, contemplating about the eternal questions. Is there life outside of the forest?

What's up there, above the tree tops?

Waiting for the dinner to be served.

Having heard of the latest tweet from president Trump.

Listening to its dietist. Yeah, my birds are well-nourished. They practice LCHF, by the way.

Just posing for a portrait.

Put a color version side by side, then ask yourself the question again!

Other than personality, a color version will show off the distinctive plumage, of course.

It's common to see completely blurred backgrounds with so many photographs of small birds, which becomes a bit monotonous for me; so I like especially those of yours when some semblance of design is hinted at in the background, such as this one.
