Black Bird

It was one of those typical English weather days - cloudy , showers on-and-off. Not suited for photography. The light was very poor and there was a slight drizzle. I still went on my usual walk - along the reviver side. Managed a couple of shots of the Black bird . My 80-400mm lens was struggling to get a focus under low light.

Why forget the old days- switched to manual focus and managed a few shots.

  2. Hi ARVE,

    I had to lie flat on the ground to take the shot. There is one golden rule while photographing birds which i follow - If possible 'Always Shoot at Eye level'. This gives you room for getting the details of the bird to the maximum possible extent.
