The Winter Favourite
Photo Information
The Robin is always a favourite at this time of year. This little chap was puffing his feathers out against the bitter cold, at RSPB Old Moor Reserve, near Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
I'm quite proud of this shot, hand-held with no camera support at 1/15 with a 300mm DA*300, no cropping, this is the full image.

Amazingly sharp considering the fact that this was taken with a 300mm lens hand held at 1/15th sec. Not just a testament to the shake reduction quality of the K3 but also a example of a photographer with a steady hand and extraordinary skill.

Thanks for this comment David, this little chap was hiding in a hedge at the side of the pathway, so it was quite dark, it was also approaching the end of the day so light levels were dropping. I don't like to increase the ISO too high so took my chances with the shutter speed, it was only when I got home I realised it was 1/15 and I'm amazed there isn't any shake. I took a sequence of these, there are a few that are this sharp and a few I will discard due to camera movement.
Cheers David
