More shrikes

[CarlosU]

A few from today. Manage to sneak up close to a family of 2 parents and 3 young ones. They were hanging around this old fallen tree, but moved away, but returned a few times. Almost managed to get one of the young ones on my head... but I moved, so it landed in a small bush a meter behind me instead...

all with OM1+150-400 and this time, tripod+gimbal. (tripod acts as little camo tent)




Male Lanius Collurio




Snack








Bit of massage to get it all down...




Right!?

Great shots as usual Carlos. Interesting that you seem to be using an supmylO.

Fantastic set of images!

It's pleasing to see fabulous gear in the hands of such a good photographer.

Nice photos!

BTW - did you hold up a mirror to photograph yourself?

Thanks Mike. Yes, the new supmylO has the new 3/4 sensor, with even less dynamic range, and ISO 123 looks really crap. But who cares, it's about be able to catch the moment ;-)

Many thanks for your kind words...

I was not aware of this until you here pointed that out, haha. No a phone shot, with the front camera. Very seldom do this, so have no idea why it turns up that way. Maybe "influencers" (narcissus) use to shoot themselves against a mirror...?
