Morning with Jeff and the birds

[Dawesy]

Had the pleasure on Monday of meeting Jeff Cohen aka blackfox wildlife who kindly gave me some of his time to try out his Sigma 150-600mm lens as I am thinking of buying one . It was great to try it out and more importantly for me to pick up some great tips and techniques on fieldcraft , photography and post processing from someone who clearly knows how to take fantastic wildlife photos. These are a couple of shots I took with my 7D2 and Jeff's Sigma and thanks again Jeff I really enjoyed the morning.

Nice shots Steve. I like the Oyster catcher shot much better and it is also one of my favourite birds. I note that BlackFox also taught you some field craft and so you must be an expert on his "belly crawl" to get near the subject without disturbing it!

Although I never bother with gulls as such, your second shot looks good. The oystercatcher whilst looking quite sharp is quite a difficult bird to expose for and the black areas look a bit too light and the white feathers lacking in detail
