Chickadees, Goldfinch & Kinglets

[canucklehead_7]

Here's a few from the last couple of weeks. The Chickadees are one of my favorites. Lots of attitude and character. And the Kinglets, well they're downright hard to catch. Little buggers never sit still it seems.......Don

They are gorgeous. What lens are you using if you don't mind me asking? If you do just slap me.

#1 is #1

Thanks very much eveyone!

Twisted, the lens used is the 300L f/4 IS with a 1.4 attached. I used the Mark III and the 30d for these. Still learning the ins and outs of the Mark III. What a beast!

I'm not sure why the exif data isn't available, as it is saved with all photos. Smug Mug maybe erasing it? Maybe I have the wrong settings in Smug Mug. Any suggestions on including the exif?........cheers...Don

Nice ones Don ... Especially liked the first Chickadee and the first Kinglet

awesome series! Kind of ironic that I shoot some chickadees and golden finches today, and this is the second thread I've come across that has Chickadees and Goldfinches.(mine (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=486410))(the other ("http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=486383))

great stuff, Don... that 300 is sure doing you proud! kinglets do bounce around a lot, but then, so do chickadees most of the time! you got these to hold still long enough for some great shots, that's for sure!

Excellent set Don. :thumb
