Black Cockatoos

[HAZZA]

Took these a few weeks ago, hand held with Sigma 120-400mm, still not that steady - plus these guys were on the move so I had to be quick, light wasnt great due to lots of trees - auto ISO used for this reason
1. 1/500, 5.6, iso 2000,focal length 251mm ,unfortunately I missed bottom of his tail due to wanting to get close up on face, im still learning! c&c welcome



2. 1.500, 5.6, iso 1250, focal length 400mm


3. 1/500, 6.3. iso 1000, focal length 400mm

Harry this guy is lovely. Thanks for sharing. I am sure you will find a day when everything falls into place. It usually does - for me anyway.

Thanks Bobo, I'm not too worried as I am having fun trying, learning all the time, appreciate your feedback, you have helped me with your previous tips.

I actually got quite close to a large flock of white Cockatoos recently, was right on dusk but managed to get some reasonable results, will also post soon.

Enjoy ur weekend mate,

Thanks they are such fun to watch even in photographs.
