About Three birds on one lot of nuts proved one too many ~ so they had what we sometimes call a 'falling out' ~ but, in his case, literally!!

I took these three shots in my garden during a brief siesta from sermon writing! They were each taken, hand-held, at full zoom, on f11 at 1/160th second. The three shots were fired off on burst mode and all three were taken within the space of just 1 second ~ or fractionally over!!

So, a bit more wild life for you!!

Have a great Friday everyone!

Come on, Merete, that's a bit harsh!!
I can't remember seeing one shot that you've "ruined" - far from it!! I really like your technique and still intend to learn how you do it so that I can produce some similar images!!
So, chin up and start working on the next one!!
I look forward to seeing it!!
Your friend,
Chris

Hi Chris, an excellent triptych. Very well captured. I'd opt for a slightly wider aperture (and thus a higher shutterspeed), as I find the motion blur a bit too much'. Nonetheless captured at the exact right moments, and well composed. Very cool shot!

Cheers,

Hugo

I beg your pardon? "Brief siesta"??? Who you trying to fool Mr S??? :-) Siesta means a long leasurely rest after having had a fantastic meal, just lazing around and finally falling asleep. That's exactly what I think you did during your "brief siesta"!
There is NO way that one get down to serious business, specially writing sermons!, with a camera as company :-) I betcha when you deliver your sermon on Sunday, you will get to parts and you will have flashbacks to what happened in your garden at your precise moment ... and yes, I know that you will remember what I said while you are preaching to your community :-))) Tell them I say "Hi"
Now I should comment on your images, right? :-) Well, I think you did a fabulous job, considering the hand-held, full zoom, f11 factors!
Have a wonderful day Chris - it's so sunny today, I am thinking of getting Robert to make us a small BBQ for tonight! :-)
