Trying Out my New Canon 75-300 in the Backyard

Posted on February 5, 2012

I got my Canon 75-300 quite sometime back but somehow didn’t try it properly till today. Either I have learned to focus better or the Canon lens is better than Sigma. I think it is a bit of both. Also the weather is much less cold in Delhi/Gurgaon these days so squirrels are out in numbers and I was out too!

Next came this Laughing Dove and it posed for me for quite sometime. In fact after I had taken all the shots that I wanted it was still there not moving an inch for the sunny spot.

Then Chhavi threw some bread crumbs in the porch and pat came the Jungle Babblers and started eating them. It has been ages since I went on my bird round but I think I will go today and see what I get in the neighborhood. I usually get more birds neighborhood than I get in the backyard.

    All the pics are great. I particularly love the squirrel nibbling at a nut – one of the cutest poses I have come across.
