Re: European Starling
Everyone seems to think that starlings are black birds but as your wonderful picture shows they are a beautiful blue when caught in nice light.
Lovelly background with no distractions, nice space around the bird with perfect focus and dof. Was this shot with your Panasonic? Wonderfull shot Keith !! |

Re: European Starling
Hey Steve, thanks for the kind comments... This was shot with the Panasonic at 420MM,, no teleconverter, I do have a 1.7X that I sometimes use..

Re: European Starling
Love this Keith, has captured the beautiful irridescence of the feathers revealing lots of colour but also has a wonderful face and beak which sets this picture off superbly.
Are you an ornithologist yourself Keith, you seem to take a particular interest in our feathered friends... and you shoot them beautifully :o) Cheers, Rob |

Re: European Starling
Love the image of the starling - I enjoy the colours and the antics the get up to around the feeder - the juverniles are hooligans! Provide plenty of excercise for my camera.
