    Blue Jay again - Getting closer

    This guy is letting me get closer each day. I got to within 30 feet or so of him yesterday He even posed a bit for me. I got 3 shots in this sequence all just as nicely in focus . Cropped a bit for composition and a minor saturation adjustment but this is almost full frame.

    Good job! They've been alluding me . I can't get very close either in a natural looking setting.

    Thanks guys. Here's the other 2 shots I mentioned. I had them underexposed a bit and did some post work to bring out the colours a bit better.

    Still looking for the sweet spot with this lens bu tI am getting closer.
