Today I was helping at a local bird ringing station, this was a great opportunity to take some birdshots that would otherwise have been quite impossible.

Shot hand-held (both the camera and the bird)

Hi Swordtemper,
das ist wirklich ein sehr schΓΆnes Bild, der Detailreichtum, der Vogel an sich, echt geil.

Eine Frage mal zum Detail , was fΓΌr ein Objektiv hast du verwendet?, weil ich benutze die gleiche Kamera und verdammt, ist dein Bild scharf

Thanks ! I guess with a telephoto lens you never get the same amount of detail you get with a macro like this one.
