More Backyard Bird Feeder

Besides the snow falling (again), I wanted to test out a new (to me) extender for my telephoto lens so back to the bird feeder!

I stepped up the ISO to 400 and the shutter to between 500 and 1000 to get some in flight action.

Backyard Bird Feeder

My wife received two bird feeders from students this past holiday. I thought this a good time to take some photos of birds (never have done that before).

After doing this once I now want to try and capture them in flight and freeze the action. This will require a faster shutter speed than what I used here (1/100-125) and probably a higher ISO (100 used here) unless in full sunlight.

Additional photos here.

I also caught the bird seed thief in action here.
