Description
Ok, folks these birds are not macros. I shoot with a 70-300 zoom lens/Nikon D70. The deck is off from our sunroom and these birds are 8-14 feet away. So, that being said, not a one of the birds I have ever shot are macro.
I shoot and then sharpen and then I magnify depending on how much I can get away with and still be sharp.
I enjoy your comments but didn't want anyone to grab a macro lens and try to shoot birds. Happy New Year everyone.

Fantastic shot. I like the contrast with the Red head and the background. B->
I have no idea what you just said, but I love this image. Fantastic shot!
Beautiful capture. Super POV. Bill (Bmac62) will love this. Dana
Interesting intro Bev, and I love the pov on this one. I was wondering exactly how far away from the bird you were, so thanks for clarifying that. Happy New Year hugs Jane xx
wonderful looking
Whatever your technique the outcome is stunning! Excellent shot.
Not to worry Bev if all works i will have my 75-300 Sigma broken lens replaced this month as it broke 3 times already last year.I am mad of your bird pictures portfolio.
Coucou, joli Woodpecker !
This is a sweet shot, and the 70-300 mm lens is the one most often attached to my D300. It's a great lens, especially with the VR.
Very nice shot!
