Re: Female and male Figbirds

Wow, there is quite a difference between the male and female! Good shots of both of them.

Re: Female and male Figbirds

Some good shots! A bit of flash might have helped with the details on #2 if you were within flash range. Keep shooting!

Re: Female and male Figbirds

Excellent use of shade to control the contrast in these images.

Love the last one of the set. Very natural and as erik stated great control with the contrast!

All except the female figbird on the ground are taken with the TCON mounted on the FZ30 which makes it a 700 mm equivalent lens effectively. Flash at this distance is a problem.
