Nuthatch - Calke Abbey
Well I am finally warming up having spent most of the day out in the field taking photographs. Well, this is not strictly true. Most of the time I was sitting in my car pressing the wireless remote as the camera took the brunt of the cold. However, I did spend about half an hour or so standing outside at
Calke abbey - that was enough even through layers of thermal fleeces, long johns and coats. Was it worth it? Yes and no. Yes because I was able to capture some interesting studies of the
Nuthatch and no because the montage images are a little disappointing. I relied on the auto exposure and for some reason when shooting at high speed, circa 6 FPS and 100th plus a second the images were under exposed. Something to ponder about. For the record I took over 1800 images which I was able to whittle down to just over 300 - these in turn will be used for 6 montage images. The rest were portrait of birds and the odd landscape.
All in all a good day, with a few reservations.
