Tzofit

[Ike Harel]

My first upload on the site, a tiny bird I am chasing years already for a good capture:

Spring is the best time to see those tiny birds again as every year.

*** The info. taken from the "Israel birding site":
Cinnyris osea is a sub-specie of the "honeybird" / "Tzofit" in Hebrew, very common bird through spring and summer in Israel.
This is probably a males, which are shining black with green and purple tones. This tiny bird weigh 8 – 10 grams and it is a swift flyer.

Cropped pic. from all sides, Canon 60D, EF28-135, RAW, F5.6, 1/320 sec., ISO 160, focal length 135mm.


Only managed an attachment type post - not a large picture as saw in the forum, wonder why I can't do so.

Hi Ike,

There's been some issues with TinyPic of lately, linking from Flickr or other sharing site seems to work. Nice effort on the bird shot, which lens are you using?

I moved the image inline.

Go back through the instructions, Ike. I think you're just missing out on maybe one the steps

Thanks Donald,
I red and re-red the instructions - but for some reason, or a miss of one step, could not do so. I click on the tab as in here
"Click here to upload photos..." and it doe's not work.
Have a nice new day,
Ike

Hello John,
I use Canon EF 28-135 which basically is flexible and fast - but some kind of a dust vacuum…
Have a nice new day,
