Hi all,

Pretty good for first try! I like #4 of the Black Naped Oriole. The others either the lighting is harsh or movement blur. Maybe you can use a tripod in future. For #1 you'll need to exposure compensate at least +2 in these cases with sky as background or spot meter the bird.

Agree with Simon, #4 is the sharpest shot. :thumbsup:
Nice catch on #3.

Thanks, will take note of that in the future. #4 was the only one that kept still enough for me to get a sharp picture. Will try again with a faster lens.

I like #4 and #3. Continue shooting. JBP is a good practice ground

Well done for your 1st attempt in capturing these feather friends. Try to avoid messy or distracted backgrounds if possible.

You don't need a faster lens, just a higher shutter speed(increase your iso) or better support(tripod).
