Hi Bernie,

Great to see the King Parrot shots you took yesterday from the O'Reilly's Rainforest minimeet.

The first and third shots are just brilliant - rich colours, very sharp, great eye contact and good behaviour.

You must be thrilled!

Cheers

Michael

The last one is a beauty. The angle of the bird and the colours make it.

ISO 250 the 500mm mirror lens is a manual lens that has only f8 as the f stop, camera speed 80th second...... all 3 pix's were shot the same..........

More great results from the 500mm! The third one takes the cake IMHO
