Frank, John, Colin, Geoff, thanks for advice about washed out skies,here,s a couple taken today,faffed about in manual mode I was well chuffed with results......]....

Looks like you have taken my suggestion, Bernard, and turned the tree around!

Much better light angle this time. The shot of the bird with a grub in its mouth is excellent.

Good ones Bernard, I like the coloured grubs I'll have to see if my camera has a 'faffed' mode.

[Benjy]

Thanks Grahame,I,m always in Faffing Mode....

If exposure has been your dilemma you definitely sorted it out. Those B/W critters can be real buggers in bright sunlight. Give me a nice overcast sky any day!

[Benjy]

Dan, thanks for comment...

Hi Bernard, between your faffing and chuffing, you are getting much better results. Fortunately, you have a willing model to practice with!

Cheers Frank....
