Wow! Great shots and so sharp. When I managed stores I always like Tamron over the other third party lenses. Its also $1500 less than the Nikon 80-200 that I wanted to get. Guess I have to rethink this.

These nine House Finch shots were taken over the last seven days in my back yard using our pear trees for a prop. The distance was 25-30 feet using the 600mm setting on my Tamron 150-600mm lens.
Great sharp shots.

These shots are just spectacular. I see that you're shooting in P (auto) and auto focus, but your ISO's, F stops and shutter speeds are all different. Do you let the camera decide these or do you manually correct? The reason I'm asking is because you take such excellent shots and I'm trying to learn how to take better bird shots. Thanks.

Thank you, Margo. I set my camera to 'P'(Program) which allows the aperture and shutter to do their thing automatically. I can select my ISO setting. When I do that, the aperture and shutter will change to a lower or higher setting but will still continue to do their own thing.
So, my f stops and shutter speeds will fluctuate according to my ISO settings and my meter readings. At the same time, if a shutter speed is too high or too low or the aperture is too high or too low, I can change that setting manually by using a wheel dial.
In essence, the 'P' mode allows you to control the aperture, shutter, auto-focusing, single or continuous shooting, different metering functions.
This is better than an automatic setting which you have no control over what the photo is going to look like.

Thank you Regis. I am going to save this in my bird instruction file. Maybe, just maybe, I'll get this right! LOL
