70 - 200mm f2.8 IS with a 1.4x tc. I used to own a 100 - 400mm IS but I sold it much to my regret. I'm thinking very hard about buying another.

I don't think so. It's much too small for that. It's about twice as large as the average chickadee.

It has beautiful eyes!

Beautiful shot. I love the background too.

They are very unique... such a bright red.

Thanks Fifi. I think the background suits the shot. It's got nice bokeh as well.

 

[Ryder]

Beautiful as always Guy.

Thank you Ryder. I take it you are a bird fan?

I just like really good pictures to be honest. Though the birds are nice. :24:

No I am not a perv. At least yet. Who knows what you people have done to me...

I really like in motion photos. Like I took one of a water balloon exploding and it looked like the same but without the you know. Balloon.

Your welcome. For best results make the camera speed really slow and use a thumb tacks. Well I'm heading to bed. Night.

You should post it. I'd kinda like to see that.

Just looked for the pic. Couldn't find it.
