Bird on a wire?
Here's a little magic trick for you when photographing birds on wires - and don't Robins love a wire! 😉 If you can sidle up into a position where the wire is almost perpendicular in front of you, using a wide open aperture (lowest number f stop - I used f4.5), and by focusing right on the bird, the shallow depth of field can alllllmost make the wire disappear at either end, so your bird is hovering nicely in the middle - I think it looks pretty cool! It's a way of minimising the presence of the wire and keeping the focus on the bird 💫
