New prop for shooting birds

[russ olin]

Love the bird pictures Bob. Very nice

 

[James Lake]

Great pictures my friend. I will only admit this to you, but some of my summer cooks have ended like that last picture when I've had a few too many brews.

As a former East-er, Cardinals and Mocking birds are the two I miss the most. Thanks Bob.

No Mocking birds where you are Brian? I got one I'd love to send you, he sits in a tree in my backyard and goes all night long

Beautiful pics Bob.

 

[J Hoke]

Great photos. I'm afraid mine though a not so clean window with my phone aren't nearly so nice. Living in the woods gives me lots of different species to photograph but I'm not as diligent as you are. Great stuff, I especially love the Lab.

Bob,
Just out of curiosity, what camera and lens are you using for those shots. The pictures are great!!

 

[Bob Correll]

Thanks again everyone!

Bob,
Most shots are with a Pentax K-5 and 55-300mm lens.
I'm hoping another cedar waxwing flock shows up this winter.

The waxwings and the Rose Brested Grosbeaks are some of the most colorful migrating birds we get to stop by our feeder. Would love to see them in the spring when they should really have color.

I had about a dozen Quail on my fence this morning and the tule fog was rolled in, it would have a great shot but I don't have a good digital camera. I have a great 35mm and no idea where to get film or have it developed

Rumor has it Costco is still developing film.

I most likely have a few rolls in my no longer used darkroom, might be a bit expired though.

Have you considered getting a new digital camera? I have a couple.....a waterproof pentax and a canon a95 but I only use my phone.......... I'd like to get a new camera but I want easy to use (old school style) full manual control, and not sure the form factor===I would like a DSLR but wonder how often I'd carry it.

Love the pics too Bob, BTW-can't tell which one I like more.

I have, but I have a real bad BBQ habit that's wreaking my non BBQ habit funds
