Pics From My New Birthday Present.

[OlyPaul]

No not a new camera, my eldest son brought me for my birthday a remote wireless trigger for my camera,so I had to try it out today.

Put a hole in a log and baited it with dried meal worms (like honey to a bear with the two resident robins) and set the camera and wireless remote up on a tripod, aperture priority and auto iso, and just waited it did not take long before they came. .

There were a lot of misses but I got a few keepers.

Olympus E-M5 and 75-300mm all at ISO 2000

Yes, Paul, Happy Birthday from me, too! Two excellent shots - my favourite is the first - it's a sort of 'OK, Paul, will this one be a keeper?' expression!

Many happy returns for yesterday Paul. It looks like you are putting your present to good use. Nice shots with that 75-300. I lost mine last year not sure if it was lifted out of my bag on hols or where it went! just haven't been able to convince myself to get another yet but your shots are starting to make me miss it.

Cracking shots as always Paul.

Do you activate the remote trigger or does this happen when the bird gets near it?

Re: Pics From My New Birthday Present.

Thanks Dave you activate the trigger, half press for focus and exposure lock full press to to take just like the camera shutter,the units have a range of up to 50 meters, so you can set it up at the top of the garden and shoot from the house if you want to. With these ones i was sitting in the garden about 30 feet away.

Great images. Love #1... 'EIlo,' 'ello...' what's he up to then?

Had to look at the ISO figures as I was sure you had added an additional zero, but nope, 2000 ISO was correct.

Proof positive what quality can be achieved at such high settings. Very impressive by any standards.
