Cedar Waxwing is Finished Snacking

Photographing with my new camera, trying to figure out focusing -- which is surprisingly hard -- so I missed the bird sitting and eating berries but I got it as he left the berry bush.

Taffy DID get the bird sitting nicely and eating berries in the bush: https://365project.org/taffy/365/2021-07-11
Love the yellow tips on the tail feathers. What new camera did you get?

Fingers crossed for you… I had the EOS R for 1.5 years and just sold it and all my RF lenses… I sent it back to Canon for focusing issues, etc. twice… and the issues were never resolved. I’ve had Canon cameras since analog days and it was difficult for me to switch… I still use my Canon EF 100mm 2.8 IS macro on my Sony cameras… it is such a lovely lens. I’m looking forward to seeing all the fantastic things you do with your new camera.

What is your new camera?

@jgpittenger @kvphoto I'm now trying to read up on how to troubleshoot all the focusing problems I'm having because it's very frustrating. Wish me luck . . .

@jyokota I completely understand… I kept trying but finally gave up… and when I read some reviews about the newerR bodies it sure seemed like some folks were having focusing problems… enough to dissuade me from trying a different one. I love my Sony cameras… I never have any issues with focusing.

Looks like your service berries are a little later than ours. Wonderful

Sorry you are having focusing problems. This is a spectacular photo.

Nice capture. Looks like it focused on the head and the leaves really well.

Still a lovely shot, hope your issues will soon be resoved.

Good luck with your new camera. You know that it is harder to get birds in focus in flight then sitting down on a branch lol....well done.

I miss many shits because I can’t focus fast enough so I know the feeling. Nice colors and action capture.
