They've been back since mid-April, but I haven't had the chance to go and visit them so far, until Monday, that is. However, very annoyed with myself, as I had my new camera with me, and couldn't for the life of me work out how to get it set to burst photography - which obviously really helps with getting sharp pictures of the birds flying in and out of the nest. So, I had to make do with single shots and lots of frustration for being a numpty. I've got it worked out now though, for next time!
It was a bit windy, so her/his hair is somewhat ruffled!
@lifeat60degrees I'll be interested to hear how you get on with the R7. I got the R8 last year as I wanted a lightweight full-frame. Not overly keen on it but that may be my ability to read instructions!!
@lifeat60degrees Well it was impossible for me to work out how to set it to burst 'on site' ... but once I found it in the manual at home it was straightforward. You need to know that it's found under 'Drive Mode' though ... not obvious for me! It was a very simple operation with my old Canon. I've been a bit lazy so far though, in terms of getting aquainted with everything the camera offers. So, the jury is still out. I need to find some time to work on getting to know the camera better.
The bird does look annoyed with you. I think it’s the close that eyes directly over the beak pointed at you. Good luck with getting to know your camera.
@rickster549 Easier said than done sitting in the cold and wind, on a tree trunk on the side of a hill with very little signal! All I could get were you-tube videos ... and I didn't have the patience for that! Annoyed though I was, with myself, I waited until I got home to the warmth, and looked through my online manual.
