Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

That's a better shot Kris the subject is in focus this time. Well caught considering the poor light.

And that with a 28mm lens, you wonder why someone needs 500 or 600mm lenses, very nice photo

Is that the same set up you used for squirrels?
it is a nice shot. (I thought those things traveled in pairs).
if you have a semi permanent set up, you might try adding some light and maybe setting up a backdrop?
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Good idea using a 28mm close up I presume you have used a remote release.
It seems to be focused on the centre of the feeder, it wouldprobably be
better focused on the back of it?

This is perfect for Eye-Fi so that you can watch the shots from a distance
as soon as they are taken.

I am inpressed that you captured this with a 28 mm lens - as mentioned above presumably yo have used a remote release, tripod etc.

Oddly enough I had not thought of this for capturing birds in the garden I always just reach for some long glass - I feel the 50mm macro may be making an appearance should I try this out
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

Nope, no remote release... But I wasn't close either...
