Hi Ikisshorses thank you for adding to the thread with your collection of pictures.I really like the last picture in your set of three showing both cock and Hen bird together side ways on.Both birds look in good feather with nice trains.
Regards Alan

Hi Johnytrout,wow stunning pictures really like the first one it's like he has turned round posed and moved on for you.Can see you use a canon 650 would like to know what inspired you to take the picture and the settings used.
Kind regards Alan

Thank you Alan.
I am inspired by all factors of nature but set myself a mission to photograph just one at a time. The Pheasant was this particular time. I may take 20 - 30 shots but just keep 3 or 4
I used the Canon EOS 650D with a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM lens shot out from the car window.
Auto Exposure
Exosure time at 1/320 sec
F Number f/5.6
ISO Speed 500
Focal length 210.0mm
(Edit) I don't understand how the EXIF says ISO 500 when ISO's double up from 100-200-400-800 etc. ???????

I'm afraid I can not take credit for the Blue Pheasant.
That's "Tel Boys" baby!

Thanks for the feedback Johnytrout I have never used a 400 mm lens and only got into photography through wanting to catch pictures of my bird when doing falconry.
Having a bird on the fist and camera to hand I have managed to get my best shots with the 200/300 mm which is just about the correct length to hold and use.
Again I have never seen a blue pheasant before today so thanks for the picture Tel boy and again Ikisshorses keep the pictures coming.
At some stage I will add a few more pictures but at the moment my photo bucket for ipad just seems to crash all the time.
Regards everyone Alan
