As I
went into the kitchen I remembered my wife saying she had
filled
with bird feed the bird house in our backyard.
"For
you to take a picture for your site".
Fetched
the camera as I watched the birds eating some 15 feet away.
Opened
the window slowly, moved the screen and shot in silent
mode
(for the first time ever). It must have been really silent since
the
birds did not mind me at all while I shot until the light was gone.
Was
later happy to see they were sharper than I expected despite
the
slow shutter. Great lens indeed but maybe I should have used
the
VR instead. |
