Do they startle when the shutter triggers Paul?

Great photo as ever Sir:bowdown:

Most do, this one did not. The woodpeckers are hard as nails and just stare at the camera.:}
Being able to fire of a few shots really quickly gives a better chance of a decent pic before they fly off.


Another 2

Here is one I took with my old Pentax KR using a neutral density filter as we are talking filters in the other thread.

This enabled a 13 second exposure to give the water that icy look.

Great shots and thanks for sharing that second one especially Paul:bowdown:

Just to prove I don't just take pictures.

Look, far fewer buttercups.:}

Looks like the birdies are loving that 'stick' Paul:}

Best bit of photo equipment I have. Jessops should sell them.:}

I am thinking of investing in one that would slope up at 45 degrees and the bird can perch on the top. More of a pro stick that one. I'll see what funds I have.

On another note, I am now able to type this at my pc whilst watching the stick on a second monitor. If a subject appears on said stick, I press the wireless remote button. Best setup yet.
