Still trying for the perfect Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) picture on the Jack Pine Trail, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

i am currently using a sigma 50-500 on either my canon 7d Mk2 or my canon 5d sr, both shots from my sofa, "through" cleaned double glazing glass, 2nd shot of blue tit, is a home made perch next to bird feed just so i can get these kind of shots, made day 1 of lock down and was getting results 1 week later, 1st shot of Jay in tree is from sofa again, but about thrid cropped off, first floor appartment so i look into tree top

The Easter Spinebill, NSW Australia, while some birds will never sit still for the camera, this little one tends to ignore it and goes about it's daily job finding food.

Another most friendly bird no matter which part of the country I meet them in, is the Canada Jay (Perisoreus canadensis) Algonquin Provincial Park, Spruce Bog Trail, Ontario, Canada. Algonquin Park celebrates 125 years in 2018.

And last but not least, I want nataliaflejszar&Photo to try to photograph a Raven (Corvus corax) Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona, United States. "Never more" quoth the Raven

I have photographed the Ravens at the Tower of London and all across North America...found them from North to South...they go everywhere.

Hello Greg,
I am having great difficulty with this setting, taking several mins to upload an image, several mins to upload a reply, forever mins trying to go from one thread to another, I don't know how others are getting things done but I really struggle with the long waits, so I think I will opt for out and do no more.

That's because maybe your pictures are bit to big, also take a look here, it might the best to start new topic with your own pictures , and everyone will see them. If i'm not wrong here the link https://macroderie.com/forums/still-life-and-other-macros.27/
