Tui Snapshot

Posted by

I have a new respect for ornithological photographers today. The tui is my favourite NZ bird and I just happened to spot this one in my neighbours tree, having a lovely time in the rain, gorging itself on those berries you can see. I took so many shots! This was the best of the bunch, not nearly as sharp as I would like and it doesn't show off his fabulous white "parson's" collar to advantage but here it is anyway!

NIKON D80 1/80 second F/5.6 ISO 800 202 mm (35mm equiv.)

Any hints, tips, constructive criticism or comments are welcome and appreciated.
