A Blue Tit, hand held by a ringer I came across last month. I loved the metallic sheen to the beak, which I'd never really noticed before.

I really appreciate seeing good pics of birds I know well (not many of those:)
I love the feather detail. I've never noticed metallic sheen to the beak before I'll have to pay more attention.
 
Lovely picture Ian, thank you.

The fabulous colours look just like some fine oil painting.

I, too, had never noticed the metallic bill.

Fabulous, thank you again ...

What an incredible shot Ian. I must admit that I have never noticed the metallic sheen on the beak before. The feather detail you have captured is almost beyond belief. Brilliant shot Ian and one to be proud of.

I am getting more and more impressed by this forum each day that I am in it and must admit to feeling a little overawed at the expertise of a lot of you when it comes to taking photos.

Regards

Hi Helen,

I have an Olympus C2100UZ. It has that lovely 10x optical zoom and quite an effective image stabiliser. From what I hear it is the same lens that Canon fitted to their Pro90IS. I usually have it fitted with Olympus Tcon14 and B300 supplementary lenses in tandem, for a bit more reach, but you do lose some image quality.

As with any camera though, the closer you can get to the subject, the better the image quality. The Blue Tit was taken on macro setting at about four feet away.

What a super photo! Well done. The image is so clear you can certainly see the detail well.
