Coming from AstroBackyard it’s so weird to see Trevor in the light also without a hat!lol Great to see more of you though Ash :) Love seeing you both doing things as a couple and not just trev testing you on stars and galaxies!ha! You’ve got some awesome nature over there! Really jealous;) atb
As a Brit I’m not familiar with the birds of your part of the world, although some looked familiar under different names. Great video with some good shots.
I've invested in a bird photography hide , can't wait to try it out , ordered it off Amazon , we have kinglets in uk , 2 speicies , Firecrest and goldcrest
I don't know how many thousands of miles separate us, I'm in the UK, but put a camera in a birder's hand anywhere in the world and the only difference between them are the birds they shoot (with a camera).
The sparrow on the goldenrod blossoms gone by was composed quite nicely whilst it turned it's head back at you... This type of shooting is precisely the primary reason I use the 7D ( original version ) fully customizable camera... ( it is blazing fast & intelligent ) I did notice on the Info screen your focus point was on center. I do use a tripod, therefor I have greater lateral stability using the camera with the EF 400 mm, f/5.6L, USM attached, therefor I shoot with Center Spot Focus, ISO 400, & will typically shoot at 400 of a sec. or faster, depending on the light & other variables. I find noise is acceptable from ISO 800, downward... From ISO 1000, upward, it becomes problematic with the 7D crop... I would think if you & Ashley simply used a mono-pod, this would be in your best interest for an increase in stability, imho... I really enjoyed this presentation... Thanks, Bill Farr...
