bath time

I thought the viewers might get a laugh from this one.

He must have been making a mess!

Great shot, Tim! :)

Tim,

Great shot.

A technical question. Did you use manual focus. I am asking because of the water drops around the bird may throw off the auto focus so I was wondering how you did it.

Hi Ray,
I used auto focus.
With all my bird photo's I shoot 6fps. I saw this robin just sitting in the bird bath and every few seconds taking a dunk under the water. I focused when he was static and took several bursts, refocusing between bursts. I also use back button focus, which I highly recommend. Hope this helps. thanks, tim

Thanks Tim for the explanation. Loved the shots.

Splendid capture of the dunking moment.
