Now that's what I'ma talking 'bout!
Lovely detail! What kind of lens are you using for a shot like that? |
Thanks, Robin.
The rig is a Canon EOS5D digital body, and the 100-400 mm Canon zoom lens. I was sitting quietly in the back yard, about 8 ft from the birdbath, when the catbird came in for a dip. That's pretty close, and the lens is pretty sharp (esp. for a zoom lens).
I'd really have been happy if a Red-headed Woodpecker came to that birdbath!
