A Japanese Green Pigeon just outside Hakodate late this afternoon...............
I woke up this morning to find my 7D had died. Luckily my wife lent me her 60D for the day.
I was showing Franck ( a French birder and on/off resident of Japan who I know from a while back) around some of the local sites. He wanted some Japanese Green Pigeon photos (the first ones ever by a frenchman he claimed!) so off we went to Shikabe but were thwated by fog. Up at Yakumo there were 4 fishing Ospreys but again it was floggy and misty.
We headed back to Hakodate to find it bathed in sunshine and we just had time to hot a beach near Kamiiso to see some Green Pigeons...........
Only BIFs and I couldn't really get used to the 60D so messed up most of the shots. I got a few nice ones though.
So Franck got his shots after all..............
I got home and got the bricked 7D ready to take to the camera shop (I got a 5 year warranty and it is up in 2 or so months)..................and then it started working again. Mysterious...............
"Interesting re the 7D" - maybe reload the softwear. They are an attractive pigeon.
ReplyDeleteActually after I took the memory card out it seemed to be OK....................
DeleteBrilliant image Stu.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Bob.................
DeleteThose pigeons in flight are really great - much more exotic than the doos here!
ReplyDeleteYes they are exotic....................
DeleteGreat JGP shots, as usual. As for cameras - sometimes like the computer, just turning it off and back on again can work wonders. (And I do so because that's the limit of my technical proficiency !)
ReplyDeleteI tried it many times and then took the battery out and tried another but nothing happened. I gave up and later in the day removed the memory card and put a fifferent one in and hey presto it worked again............
