GSW in poor light

[sawman]

The light was very poor this morning but I had a go anyway.
Iso 800, 1/125th @f3.5 at the 200 end of my 70 -200.

New set up Charlie?

New set up Charlie?

No. Just getting a bit more weathered.
Saw a Grey on my'patch' yesterday. Twas dead though.
Keeping a close look out for any more.

Thats a nice one Charlie, even better given the low shutter speeds.

 

[mark richards]

very nice...

Excellent shot, is this a crop or were you really that close.

 

[Trev4]

Certainly a good picture here Charlie, typical GSW pose with excellent exposure, nice one

Nice capture Charlie, great bird detail and BG, well exposed and great colours.

No crop I was that close. Probably about 6-7ft.

Nice shot Charlie you must have been fairly close to get this with 200mm.

Cheers folks. I was about 6-7 feet from it.

Lovely capture Charlie, you got that looking good was it from the hide?

Thank you. It was from the hide. I have not used it since about mid Nov. when the snow started. Just kept the feeding going & left them in peace.

 

[Martyn...]

Aside from capturing the detail superbly you have also captured the character of the bird with that one

 

[bison]

Superb capture...I always love the way they use their tail feathers as a support.

Nice one mate, you have done well considering the light was as poor as you say.
