One of a group of very well fed sparrows. Quite a major crop for this one.

I love the sparrows in this shot but I sadly didn't get the focus right Bummer...

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

Well fed, indeed. What do they feed on, cats?

On the 3rd one, are you sure it was a focus problem not a slight camera movement or wind moving the branches? I read it was @300mm with f/8 so slight oof should not be that visible? And I cannot spot anything really sharp - or maybe it's just that late and my eyes lie to me.

The first one tells me clearly: Autumn coming.
Kind regards,

Hi Michal,
You must have got the information about the focal length of the lens and the aperture from the EXIF data?
If so, how do you read the EXIF from a posted photo? When I read the properties, all I get is the size of the photo and file type.

Easiest way is to get Photome, its free BTW, and then you can right click on the image. You'll be amazed how much information is there.

Very possibly camera shake. Hand-holding 300mm is not my forte.

I use Firefox with FxIF add-on installed. When I want to see EXIF data I right-click on a picture and select Properties - EXIF data appear below standard properties.

It's not bad for a hand-held at all
