Here is a bit of information:<br />Camera - Canon EOS 550D<br />Lens - EX SIGMA, DG MACRO 105MM 1:2.8<br />Settings - Manual: 1/6000, 7.1, ISO auto, AWB, AF<br />I took lots of photos and was delighted that some were reasonably sharp.<br />I have found that that this macro lens is really good for bird photography, a thing that I had never tried before. It works well from a reasonably close distance.Maria Fremlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983760548645998298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389336748930025109.post-66198265917039716482011-12-04T09:54:19.531-08:002011-12-04T09:54:19.531-08:00Impressive photos!Impressive photos!Richard Kettlewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136955636613798272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389336748930025109.post-16440226897516512372011-12-02T13:32:45.111-08:002011-12-02T13:32:45.111-08:00Interesting that some have their heads bent back, ...Interesting that some have their heads bent back, sleeping I presume? In New Scientist last week, they raised the question of why some fossilised dinosaurs had their heads and necks bent right over their backs, perhaps the same reason?Margaret788https://www.blogger.com/profile/16829157260524670181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389336748930025109.post-9123086955806554942011-11-30T20:06:48.657-08:002011-11-30T20:06:48.657-08:00Perhaps 10-15 m to the nesting ones.
