This is a lovely shot. You have this knack with birds and animals for that matter of just catching unusual expressions.  |

What a beautiful shot, if Chip saw this image he might be very proud, and maybe it would make him less grumpy It's a perfect scene with a great set of colors and a perfect DOF. Great shot Bev! |

Poor chip, it looks as if he wasn't in the mood for modelling that day. Very well-composed shot with great colours. I wouldn't mind a little more sharpness, possibly a slightly shorter shutter-speed. 1/90 is fairly slow at 150mm.
In order to get really sharp shots one should always use a shutter-speed equivalent to your focal-length or preferably even shorter i.e. Focal-length =150 mm Shutter-speed = 1/160 sec.
Indeed, buried within one of Ansel Adams' books, he suggests that with a normal lens and a handheld camera, a shutter speed of anything less than 1/250th second may produce less than a completely sharp image. Source: www.enginova.com />
But still a great shot. Keep them coming. |

Thanks Paraman for your feedback, with big lenses and handheld you have to use a shutter speed equivalent to your max focal length, anything under and you will 80% of time get blurred shots, definately if i was using my 100-400L and used anything under 250 when wide open id have to have hands of steel to get a completely sharp image, thats when tripods come in handy, but because i dont like lugging one through bushes and ditches etc, i handhold all the time. |
