The isolated waxwing shot's at long last!

[mufftrix]

When I got the 7 waxwing shot I was happy to get them all in a row like that, but for weeks now and many hours in the cold I have been after an isolated shot with a clean backdrop?

So perseverance eventually paid off when I got that as well today

It just a shame the light wasn't brilliant all the time, but I happy to get the sort of shots I wanted at long last ! Still got a few go through so hoping there may be another few ok ones in there, but I got square eyes from editing so enough for one day

Great set Mick. I've shared your frustrations with these on many occasions. Excellent shots.

Cheers Mike, yes having the 500 first has made the transition easier that for sure, I still think I got a bit of a way to go till I am 100 at one with it though haha!

Absolutely stunning, nice one Mick

Yes it a building they are in the middle of a town centre so when they land on one side of the tree that is the background lol

I still want that blue sky shot but not going to get it this week by looks of weather forecast :-(
