Personally, I suck at bird photography. I have the gear but not the skill or perseverance. When I do try, the bird has frequently flown away, been out of focus, cut in half or poorly exposed. So I was impressed when Bill showed me his results using the new mirrorless camera he got and with the standard kit lens. I mean Kit lenses have a reputation for not being as sharp as the “Pro” lenses. This shot was taken at full aperture and sharply focussed as well. Well done Bill.

Manny Delhaize describes himself as a “Canberra nerd amateur try hard Astro guy”

Here are some of his toys.

And here are some images he sent me.

All I can say is “WOW”

Brent showed me this picture last year and it made me very envious. I wish I had been there.

However I thought the original shot could do with a bit of post processing -I couldn’t resist the urge to fiddle with it. I did it and sent him a copy for his approval before posting it on the web. I never heard from him…..

Having lunch with Brent the other day I subtlely asked in my usual form  “didn’t you like what I did to your shot Brent?”  Apparently he missed my E mail. Anyway here is the shot with the Bing interpretation and with the Masters permission!
