Thanks. I think it's a combination of the full frame Canon 6D and the Sigma 50-500mm lens because the resolution of the camera is great plus great detail with the lens helps. A winning combination.

Add a little skill from the photographer makes a great combination. :-D

Thank you. I usually see these birds high in the trees. Fortunately, one of them came closer to the ground.

Great catch on an elusive & shy bird. I have never been able to get anything other than the under-belly of these birds. Even with the Sigma 150-500 @ full 500mm. plus a heavy crop, they are still just too far away for a decent shot. I thought about saving for the 6D if I could use a higher iso without all the noise. It is either cloudy, late day, or my birds stay in the shade. With the T2i noise becomes noticeable at iso 800 with a crop. How does the 6D cope with high iso?

The Canon 6D handles the high ISO's beautifully and that really makes a difference in resolution with shadows, colors and detail.. The combination of this camera and the Sigma 50-500mm lens is fantastic compared to my older aps-c cameras. Full frame for me is the way to go.

Best photo I have ever seen of that bird. :thumbup:
Thank you. Usually the Waxwings stay towards the tops of the trees, so I was lucky when this one came down to about 20 feet off the ground but it stayed only 10 seconds and I took some rapid fire shots and one of them came out OK.
