Blue tit feeding from a wiggly wigglers, stick to window, bird feeder (4)
Blue tit feeding from a wiggly wigglers, stick to window, bird feeder (4), originally uploaded by tmv_media.
Bought one of these for my parents for part of their Christmas Present. Great success.
The only issue is movement. They won't feed if anything moves in the room this side of the window, so tripod, manual focus and remote release were essential.
Camera: Sony a550
Lens: Sony 70-300mm G-Series SSM
Tripod: Jessops carbon fibre.

Lens comparison - by photos..
I thought that I should write something about lenses..
I decided that the easiest way would be to demonstrate via photos, all taken from the same spot in a garden in Thornbury looking out towards the river Severn.
The photos are not my best and are straight out of the camera. upon reflection I should have chosen a better subject and cleaned them up a bit, but I hope it shows you what's what!
So starting with Extra Wide Angle.
The Tokina 11-16mm:
11mm:
16mm:
Sony's 18-55mm "kit" lens (SAL-1855)
18mm:
55mm:
Sony's 100mm f/2.8 macro lens (SAL-100M28)
A slight step back in focal length for a second, but moving on to my favourite lens!
Sony's 70-300mm G SSM lens (SAL-70300G)
70mm:
300mm:
Lastly, Sony's 500mm mirror reflex lens, brilliant for wildlife, despite being fixed at f/8 (SAL-500F80)
Hope this helps, if not contact me with any questions you have.

Water Tower - snow HDR
Used HDR toning to draw out the colour of the un-fallen leaves on the trees in the foreground.
It's really unusual to see trees with their autumn leaves still on, covered with a dusting of snow.
