Grey eyes

did you know they have grey eyes? I did not... until I took this shot with my new telephoto lens - ahem! ahem!

Oh yes: photo number 666 😈

Jackdaws are one of my fave birds, along with all corvids. No I didn't know, nice one.

[Ingrid]

I had no idea! Nice clear photo! What is your new lens?

[moni kozi]

@ingrid01 It is Panasonic 45-150mm F4-5.6 Lumix G

[Ethel]

Simple but arresting

[Casablanca]

I didn't know that either!

[Kathy A]

I didn’t know either but then Ive never thought about it

[Susan Wakely]

Every day is a school day on 365. So much to learn.

[Mags]

A beautiful bird and capture!

[borof]

Nice bird photo, but if it weren’t so central, it might be even better.

[Delboy79]

Nice shot Moni.You seem to be keen on the Panny lenses

[LManning (Laura)]

Wonderful clarity! Enjoy your new toy.

[Jacqueline]

Great shot and have a lot of fun with your new lens!

@delboy207 For this one, a friend recommended it over the Olympus version because this has image stabilisation, whereas Olympus's own does not (in a similar price range, of course). And it made sense.
Anyhow, I am now at a halt with acquiring lenses. i think I have a wide enough range of lengths. So I'd better move my behind out to make use of these all.

[Brian Moody]

Great shot, have fun with the new lens

[bkb in the city]

Great capture

[bruni]

Learned something again.

[Carole Sandford]

Nice details.

[Bucktree]

Very nice capture. Enjoy your new lens.

[Corinne]

Great catch!

[Pyrrhula]

Have those all day around. Great shot of yours.

[Yao RL]

A matching colour to the feather around the neck.

@borof yes, you are most likely right. But my OCD was more powerful

A fitting 666th photo :-) I also have the 45-150mm lens. Even though Olympus and Panasonic use the same m43 lens mount they don't communicate well when it comes to image stabilization. Unfortunately the image stabilization in Panasonic lenses do not work with the IBIS (sensor stabilization) in Olympus cameras and image stabilization in Olympus lenses do not work with IBIS in Panasonic cameras. Fortunately IBIS in both Panasonic and Olympus is very good so it is not a big problem.

[Ingrid]

I looked your lens up as I was surprised to see that it only was 45- 150mm and I was expecting more... but Google tells me that it is equivalent to a 90-300 mm lens on a camera with a full frame sensor. Seems like a great lens! Enjoy!

@helstor365 As a newbie in the area of photography, I am quite happy with what this lens does. I really have no idea if my camera has IBIS. There is an option for in camera image stabilisation that i switch accordingly depending on tripod or hand held. The lens itself does not have a switch. So i am experimenting with turning the camera function on and off. And when a composition is pleasant but a bit shaky, there's always grain and other filters in editing to mask :)
Thank you so much for the information. This is how i learn.

[moni kozi]

@ingrid01 Oh, thanks for the info. I hadn't yet made the effort to look that up. But as I said above to Helge, I really am happy with what this lens can do. Now I need to practice more.
