Flight

Shot some birds flying into the feeder today, I don't have an autofocus telephoto so I prefocused to one side of the feeder and took a lot of shots trying to get them as they flew in. Out of about 200 shots or so I got these I like. It was getting late in the day and the light was starting to fade for the last three shots.

Sony NEX C3 with an adapted Yashinon 200mm f4 @f8 ISO 3200 and 1/1250 sec..

Here it is with the curves tweaked a bit, I really need a good denoiser program to get the most out of these because I was shooting at a high ISO and a slow f stop trying to freeze motion and get decent depth of field at the same time.

Monitors are so different it's difficult to judge what's going to look good on others.
