Robins

Introducing the ever-popular robin, a bird most associated Christmas, with its distinctive red-orange breast. They can be quite characterful, making the robin a much loved bird for enthusiasts.

2. 1 March 2025, Leica SL(601), Vario-Elmar-R 105-280mm f/4.2, 1/500sec @ f/4.8, ISO 250.

3. 1 March 2025, Leica SL(601), Vario-Elmar-R 105-280mm f/4.2, 1/500sec @ f/5.6, ISO 200.

A very obliging model, patiently waiting for me to get the photo. That, or sporting a look that says, ‘Well, get on with it then’!

4. 1 March 2025, Leica SL(601), Vario-Elmar-R 105-280mm f/4.2, 1/500sec @ f/5.6, exposure compensation +0.6 stop, ISO 320.

Is this my best side?

5. 1 March 2025, Leica SL(601), Vario-Elmar-R 105-280mm f/4.2, 1/500sec @ f/8, exposure compensation +0.6 stop, ISO 800.

Or this one?

6. 27 February 1993, Minolta 9000, Minolta 100-200mm f/4.5, 1/250sec @ f/4.5, Fujichrome ISO 100.

Even though the robin is quite small in the frame, it is easy spotted with the red breast.

7. 27 February 1993, Minolta 9000, Minolta 100-200mm f/4.5, 1/250sec @ f/5.6, Fujichrome ISO 100.

A bit of a cliché with this shot, a robin in a snow scene.

8. 27 February 1993, Minolta 9000, Minolta 100-200mm f/4.5, 1/250sec @ f/5.6, Fujichrome ISO 100.

9. 27 February 1993, Minolta 9000, Minolta 100-200mm f/4.5, 1/180sec @ f/4.5, Fujichrome ISO 100.

1. 1 March 2025, Leica SL(601), Vario-Elmar-R 105-280mm f/4.2, 1/500sec @ f/4.2, ISO 400.

Being quite tame, photographs like this are less of a challenge to get as they are less likely to fly away when you try to get close.

10. 24 February 1993, Minolta 7000, Minolta 100-200mm f/4.5, 1/250sec @ f/4.5, Fujichrome ISO 400.

Arriving for lunch.
