Sony a77 with Sigma 105mm f2.8 - f8 at 1/800th sec ISO 200 spot metering on the head and single point focus also on the head

I used a fast shutter speed to avoid any blur and darken the BG

Les ;)
 
Now this I like lots!... That dark BG with the golden light really work well ...
I hate being nice to you :p :p ;)

Its a mesh Cammo net- Helps hides the white face when looking up- as Corvids have very keen eyesight and it keeps the Midges off :p
 
The second photo I can see the net properly, I guess it's the angle or light but the first looked like some kind of plastic wrap lol!... Makes sense with the corvids

Sounds more fun to me... what problem do crows cause out of interest?

Where do you hide your camera in that lot??? :naughty:

Guessing this is how you sneak up on the damsels and dragons.
 
Les good to see what you look like - but looking a bit podgy to me - you could with joining me on my Slimming World diet :p:p:p
 
Hahaha!! How old Is your little one Bryn?

Why not shots of your little ones & give the even littler ones (critters) a break from your intrusion into their life :p

Believe me my girls get priority when it comes to the camera but are normally grab shots as so active that studio type setup is very difficult.

And not post worthy.

They will peck the eyes of young lambs and my camera stays in my Land-Rover until needed

Large jacket you cheeky sod with a woodland fleece under it- it gets rather chilly waiting to ambush things with a shotgun

Being a Game Keeper sounds a really interesting job & which would keep you fit. But it also sounds as if it can be quite hard work :)
