Ok I lied its a bird on a rope lol this is a barn swallow, they like to live in little tight spots commonly in barns and sheds with open roof framework.They are super swift and agile as heck they just bomb around so fast. A beautiful bird really but is known as more of a pest. This little bugger sat nice and still for me while he was chowing on something in his beak (zoom in on the bottom picture to see). The pictures turned out pretty nice considering they are shot manual focus at 230mm by hand with no image stabilization what so ever with my shitty slow Tamron zoom, I have talked about how bad this lens is before but we wont get into that fully, just zoom in on any picture and see the harsh chromatic aberration going up the birds back so no cropping what so ever on any pic with this lens or it would show too much, like I edited these and you can still see it grrrr. I got some nice exposures of them in flight as well but that will be for another day cant share it all at the same time gotta keep something for later lol.
Love these little guys, they fly around like minature top gun jet fighters!
ReplyDeleteI had some pretty ugly lenses starting out with my first DSLR. I figure learning with those lenses helped me take better pictures when I finally bought myself some ($) better ones...
