Went for capturing some birds pics. Found out thats really difficult.
Hats off to Rob providing some really Birds photography. I found, thats one of the most difficult to capture.
As, I was standing on the bird watching platform (A room), saw the Raccoon coming to eat bird food. It was just below me (coming from underneath the cabin/room/platform) . After hearing my camera movement noise, looked up towards me. Got the best shot of the day.
Acted like a model for few second.
Captured with Tamron 80-210mm f3.8/4.0 @210mm and aperture @~f6.7.



Few minutes later, still confused from lens,
Captured with Tamron 80-210mm f3.8/4.0 @210mm and aperture @~f6.7. No sharpening.. direct from camera (Captured RAW).



100% crop of second picture.. can see the small insects on the skin..

Thanks everyone..
Learned 2 things in that 1hr trip,
1) Bird Photography really needs time and not easy at all.
2) Capturing lovely animals in their own habitat is very different (and with satisfaction) compare to zoo. (Dont take this statement against Zoo concepts, I just love the animals... and creation of National parks and Zoo are one of the great human actions of last century)

I am not a big fan of animal photography, but your first pic is fantastic!!!
