Well my pictures last time were a bit disapointing:

The images were soft, mainly because either the focus was off, or because I was just too far away, and so when I cropped they looked a bit poo.
Anyway yesterday after digging over the garden I was amazed to see our resident Robin was willing to come right up to me, within 2 or 3 feet at times. It was a bit dark in places, so I had to use ISO1600 for all but the last shot, but I think the results are much better, mainly because I was very close. I used 200mm for all but the last shot, and at times he was so close that I couldn't focus, even in macro mode! Next time I should have a 100mm prime at the ready!
They were all shot with Canon 350D + Sigma 70-300mm AGO DG btw.
Comments welcome as always
