I was on a tripod and used a cable shutter release. If I were to try for a shutter speed above 1/500, because of the locked f/12.3, I would blow the ISO through the roof. So, the only thing I can do to take a better photo with that lens is lock on the eye and better position in the frame to improve interest. Not the easiest lens to focus as it is, but it fits my budget and allows me the reach I need because I’m limited in my movement. I’ll work on it more. I’ve got the time and the bird feeds here most every day. Thanks for all the helpful comments. Sometimes I look at my photos and can’t see the forest for the trees. I know they may not be right, just can’t always spot what makes them weak.
not the photo that was supposed to be here. sorry.
It was shot with a Canon T5 using a Bower 650-1300mm lens. The lens is a fully manual push/pull and was set at 1000mm the aperture is fixed at f/12.3. No post processing was done on this if memory serves me. The lens does tend to take very soft photos. But, I can do better if I follow your advice and lock the focus on the eye better and position the bird in frame like you recommended. Thanks for your feedback. As for how close I was, I was about 300 yards away.
Hello, I’m a 63 year old from Waldorf, Maryland USA that just started to get into digital photography around May of this year. Bought a Canon T5 and it’s been off to the races since then. I shoot wildlife, landscape and some macro as well as my favorite models, my grandchildren.
