Since it was raining and i wanted to try out my gimbal mount connected directly to the tripod i set up inside the house with the back door open and gave it a try on some birds in the back yard.
cropped about 50 percent so i am pretty happy how the A*600/5.6 worked wide open at F5.6 1/250

Poor bugger looks drenched. About time that you gave that lens a run. :D

Oh the poor little butcher bird! But its a cracking shot though... very sharp and emotive looking... :)

finally got the new tripod and put the Gimble head on the old tripod ... makes a big difference not having to hold it and shoot at the same time 8)
