I don't usually like birds on feeders but felt I had got a decent exposure so thought I would show it.

Re: Woodpecker
I do agree with you about feeders and nowadays try not to include them.This is very nice though.
All the best

Re: Woodpecker
I still photograph birds on feeders, especially woodpeckers. They are still wild creatures and marvellous for it, just a little bribery involved - like persuading grandchildren to pose for a shot!

Re: Woodpecker
Personally I don't mind seeing birds on feeders like this...it's the yukky plastic ones that really spoil the shots.
One of my friends has a great trick for natural looking feeders. He's drilled out holes in several branches and fills them with a mixture of fat and seeds.
Works very well, even if it is cheating a bit!

Re: Woodpecker
Feeders have their place in shots imo. This one is a good example of where a feeder does not detract one bit from the shot - nice one.Olympus E-5 / E-620(hld5) / E-410 with Zuiko's : 14-42mm f5.6 | 40-150mm f5.6 | 70-300mm f4 | 35mm Macro f3.5 | Sigma 50-500mm | Sigma 105mm Macro | FL-36r

Re: Woodpecker
How I wish we had these birds in Oz Keith! I love your shot.
I don't think there is anything wrong with feeders either. A nice way to attract birds into the garden and if a photograph follows - goodoh!

Re: Woodpecker
I stopped taking birds on feeders after a couple of publishers chose shots of birds on feeders rather than the same bird on a natural perch.Originally posted by andym View PostComment

Re: Woodpecker
Nice image Keith
I had one in the garden for the very first time a few days ago, but by the time I had grabbed the camera he had gone.
Regards Paul.
One day I hope to be the person my dogs think I am.
