After getting more n more Facebook Photographers Friends,expectation is increased for sharp picture. Facebook like for pic is not important for me but self happiness is more,that i clicked a good photo.sometimes i cudnt get clean photo and didn't know more tactics of sharpness in lightroom and photoshop but feels great when i upload photo.
Toady i was with my son who is 6yrs old and he wanna see how i capture the moment in camera.i was happy that i captured this Purple Swamphen closely and sharp enough.

while i was returning to home after taking photos of Black-headed ibis,Common Greenshank , Eurasian Curlew etc birds,i was so happy for good shots and looking towards sea.sudden a tiny bird flying far away from me,at first avoid to frame as i was exhausted n wanna go home but for my improvement i took photos as in continuous shots and after it see the image after zooming in my camera's lcd.at that time i was so excited coz it was common kingfisher.
sudden try to find again coz out of 6-7 images most image are out of focus.common kingfisher is approx 15-17cm and i was far away so unable to find but i saw this beauty sitting on stone at sea and fired.but its not a sharp enough.tried to go closure but i was caught n fly away.

As seen on YouTube video,this lens work well even though i wanna test speed so did in past 15days but didn't get succeed because of i can not hold the lens properly for long time and during moving toward the subject,i mostly missed the shots.
so today i went with tripod and norming taking shots of swimming duck,heron and ibis.after 2hours i noticed that the ruddy shelduck is coming to water and tried to focus in Aperture-Priority Mode but i missed flying shots due to my tripod so i lift the tripod with camera and focused the duck.but Ruddy Shelduck was started to land on water though i clicked 5shots and here is result.
Don't know why i stopped clicking coz my 600D will click 6-7 click in continuous shooting mode, may be due to weight of lens and camera is lifted with tripod.
anyway enjoy this images for this time and set back for next images for AF Speed Test of Tamron 150-600mm.

Last year one of my birder friend ask for Ruddy Shelduck came at kotha wetland, outskirt of Billimora-Amalsad,Gujarat and i was there in end of November'14 but these ducks are very shy and i have kit lens so didn't take good shot there.even seen at Tena wetland, Surat outskirt but same story.when my Tamron 150-600mm arrived in feb'15, i was at Tena wetland but that wetland was dry by local farmers.
