I need to teach my local birds how to be better 'models'. Camera currently outside, focussed on bird table and a robin has just sat on the camera! Of course, before I put the camera out there, there were frequent tits and red-breasts on display. Perhaps I should take up studio shooting of birds?

[sorry for the innuendos]

in fully manual mode, one's setting shutter speed, one is doing aperture, one putting IS back on (after all, they've just removed the camera from the tripod), one is manual focussing, one pressing the shutter release and the others are trying to work out how to get the lens cap off with the hood in place wink
