I finally received my new Canon EOS 500D with the 18-55mm kit lens. So what better to do during your weekend than to play around with it a little. All on manual of course and it’s fun to see that the two best shots are both from birds.

First of all some black swans…

And then a hen in captivity. Not by choice though. It had had a difficult childhood and got addicted to all kinds of drugs. We had a good conversation….
