Coal Tit

Very dark and dull today with smirry rain for most of the day. So had to shoot with a high ISO setting . This wee coal tit is a new visitor to the garden, tiny and really fast moving. No chance of using the tripod today as I had a hard time following him aound. Camera hand held with image stabilisation on , very tricky given the weight of the 150 - 500mm lens. had to do some noise reduction on the final image apart from that just a slight levels adjustment.

Hope tomorrow is brighter, however I suppose we should be pleased that all we had was this dismal weather rather than Sandy reaching us. Hope everyone is coping over there.

Large might be worth a look if you havetime.
