Parrot Stalking

[Ariel Matias]

Still struggling from jetlag after the long journey from Manila, I went out this morning to check out my winged neighbors at the back of our condominium unit. I found myself stalking these two lovely pair of oranged-chinned parakeet.

All shots taken using Canon 400D at 400mm f/5.6L ISO400, Manfrotto 055MF4+GH

What a difference a lens make. Those are the kind of shots you are good at. You can really get close to the bird. Beautiful pictures. Crisp & Sharp. Well done Ariel. Mabuhay.

Thanks, Ely! Indeed, my new lens has a huge impact on the quality of pictures. For that reason I am always excited to go out. Unfortunately, work piled up during my almost a month of vacation so it will probably take a while before I can have my first trip..Meanwhile, I will enjoy the birds in my own backyard for more "practice shooting" hehe..

Great backyard birds there! Wow.

Enjoy the new glass. The 400 f5.6 is nice and sharp and still very portable. Great choice.
