Yeah, the 75-300 bog standard Canon zoom. It's ok, but struggled to focus in the poor light. I used an old flash, diffused with a bit of milk container to fill!

The problem with that lens is the bad Chromatic Aberation...at 300mm, in poor light, things are outlined in blue...had to PP the ducks to get rid of some, still not right, though.

I was going to ask about flash. The first shot looks very nice; and while I like the second one it feels as though you have use a flash for it... I very much prefer natural light (maybe just because I don't have a flash etc) so it bugs me a little. Otherwise, nice captures.

It had just about stopped at this point...there were a few spots still for the second robin, I promise!
