These came out ' not too badly' ???

These came out Great, IMHO.

I only dream of shots this good

Great set, Rudy!!

I had some fun last winter with peanuts and Blue Jays.

I never knew they liked them so much.

An older couple was at local park, feeding them.

Took advantage and had good practice with a new (for me ) D-SLR. Been a small sensor, LCD screen only shooting since 2004.

Adjusted real quick to an OVF .

I see what I was missing :).

Back to Blue Jays, I quickly found out , and few days later I was there with my peanuts

Good opportunities..but nothing like these shots.

Great job, Rudy!!

Hope one day to be at your level.

Hi ANAYV,

Thanks for your kind words. The ,method is pretty simple.... high shutter speed on a full sun day to keep ISO down, Group focus and then BLAST away and hope for some keepers. Thanks pretty well it... no magic and not much skill.

Cheers,
Rudy
