Well, like the title said, my first attempt. Equipment was....non-optimal at the least. Sigma 70-200 2.8, with a 4 megapixel body

Well, it will do for now I guess, I just need to sneak up on the birds, ninja style! (Yes, my D90 has 12 MP, but only does 4 FPS, and I didn't bring it with me). Maybe if I really find myself doing wildlife a lot I'll start looking at the BigMOS

Crows being all black are tough to get a good shot of.
You really have to get them in decent light to get any detail at all.

@Wolfsong: Ninja power! (and slight cropping of a 4 megapixel image).
@Westcoast: Yeah I did notice that. Time to change my angle of approach

Or you just stay still in one place so they don't think you are a threat, then they carry on as if you weren't there.

Got this shot with the Tamron 70-300 on my D90

Thanks!

Nice one Keystrokes. I tried that, but no birds came near me, so I ended up taking a semi-nap on a tree trunk in the sun.

I like these shots better than the bokeh shots , suggest you have a look at the exif's from the Canadian's postings on wild life, e.g. Wolf, KPR and others, they are the masters at this sort of photography

Cheers

these are great first attempts, like others said, crows are harder because they are all black, keep going.

also the other pictures of crows people put up are great

Nice shots. Bigmos may be required. I was looking at the bigmos on youtube, it is huge! You defo need a monopod with it. Hope to see some more shots in the future!
