This Robin I have got to know quite well, every morning he/she would perch on this post, when I would go to to fill the feeders it would get closer & closer everyday, to the point it would land on my shoulder and sit on my hand feeding I've never experienced this before, I suppose we built up a trust which each other, it knew I wasn't going to hurt it. We moved from that house ,in our New home which has a much larger garden & coppice at the bottom I have a similar situation with a Red Kite, which likes cat food & fish.Time

I wanted to document this friendshipEditing
Slight crop if I remember, I don't use photoshop or light room, I sometime take pictures for a photo agency, and asked them 3 things, 1/ What do you want pictures of in particular, 2/Which mode do you want them taken in, if RAW you the agency can post process as I do not. 3/Would you like them in colour or B/W, this seems to work for meIn my camera bag
Canon 5d 50d 500d speed light flash old school, a few ef & efs lens nothing expensive yet, the lens I would like is the Canon 70-200 L lensFeedback
Oh that's a difficult one, Bracketing is a really good idea, patience, be prepared to wait,, I used a fairly fast shutter speed, & shutter priority mode, I believe in using all the modes, I use both and or JPEG or RAW on some of my cannon's you can vary the Raw some times I use small Raw, what I'm trying to get to is , I'm not one of these people who say Manual mode & Raw only that makes you a photographer & I 'm not a Megapixel worshiper either , I take pictures for myself, if others like them that's OK too.
