The Yellow warblers are back and as always, very difficult to photograph them. They are small and extremely quick,

Enjoy!

Very nicely done...beats me how fast you're managing to be here John.
What lens here please??

[Janika]

Zig, I used my EF 100-400 lens for these, Thanx for looking, eh!

[wulinka]

they are great, especially teh third one is fantastic.
In the first one I like how the yellow of the leave matches the bird's feathers, well spotted!

Thanx Uli, I also spotted some very shy and quiet Cedar Waxwing birds the other day, I'll post it later...

Your bird photos are always so impressive, but to see that you're getting them with such a short lens -- it's fantastic work.

[Janika]

Matt, You think 400mm is short? Shot these with an EF 100-400 iS L USM lens... Thanx for the comments...

[Zig]

My, that looks a fine lens...I'm convinced the I.S. is such an asset; am assuming these are at f5.6 then?

Beautiful pictures John. Specially the last one... love the action in that image...

One funny thing that happened the other day was that I saw in my camera that I was in f/40!! I was suprised! Looking at my pictures now I can't find anything with aperture f/40.

The manual says minimum apperture is 32-38 but I don't know why they make this reference...
Data based on EOS models with exposures displayed in ½ stop increments. It varies slightly with the EOS-1V, EOS-1N, EOS-1, and EOS 3.

Anyway this is something I have to try again and see how this data appears in the exif.

[Janika]

Irma, I think it was f/4.0 and not f/40, so yours probably start at f/3.2 and the smallest is f/38 the way I see it, Hope this helps...

Yellow Warblers. Being deaf I miss the sound of birds (except my wife ) so I usually miss them photowise. You know....a little rustle or tweet, etc. and bingo.
Keep 'em coming.
