redshank (tureluur)

Since I started photography a year ago, I didn't use the autofocus function of my Sony. Mainly because in most instances it doesn't work properly, and I miss the moment. Until now most of the time I wasn't able to make a real sharp shot, but recently i did a few, and learned me that focussing the last tiny bit is a matter of feeling. Even when your system tells you it is sharp, you still can (and have to) focus more. Here you see the redshank, a beautiful bird. In the Netherlands not a common bird anymore, and it can be seen in wetland areas.
