Fulmars

I popped over to the North Cornwall coast to give my new OM1 camera a bit of a test, Fulmars are biggish birds that dont fly too fast, so I thought they would make a good subject. I've looked at many You Tubers advising on the best settings to photograph birds in flight, and to be honest they tend to give differnt opinions on which is best, so only one way to find out,that is to see which I like the best. These were all taken using the bird detection and tracking, its certainly easier to follow the birds and all in all pretty pleased with the results. Next time I will try without the bird detection.I do like a Fulmar.

Nice birds on nice sticks

For those annoying camera club members who say on a regular basis 'another bird on a stick photo', here are two lovely birds on a really nice stick. No apologies. Siskin and Golfinch on Willow.
