Took a breather to clear my head yesterday and spotted this little fella on the tree stump. I had too short a lens on the camera but couldnt swap it out because he would have flown away so tried to make the best of it.

I know we talked about Robins being different in the UK from the US so this is the UK Robin.

The better looking robin imo. Nice.

I've been enjoying the flutterby captures shared here of late, so thunked I would have a go too... Now I know why they are called flutterby's! I did get some nice, in focus captures of them, but this was the stand-out for me, with that sense of erratic movement achieved, in my eyes anyway.

Canon 600D, Sigma 120-400mm f/4-5.6, Spot Metering, Aperture Priority

Posted this in another thread, but thought it works here as well. Or not.
Silly, but my first attempt at using Portrait mode on my iPhone X.

Had the chance to go to our local Comic-con FanX event recently. I was able to photograph several great cosplayers. This Winter Soldier cosplayer looked pretty badass. I shot the photo, masked, retouched, and then rebuilt the hair (because of the masking issues that come with hair). I did about half of what I normally do when rebuilding hair, but I think it turned out well.

Damnit! That’s way better than my shot! Look at the detail in its eye!
Cheers. All in the Nikon quality. ;)

None in my monkey hands!

This is the time of year for them here. I enjoy being in their migratory pattern, so basically, if you build it, they will come. I tried to get shots of the white ones, but I think they drink Red Bull between garden visits.
