Description

Please don't miss a zoom on this one. I am always interested in capturing my backyard birds in as much detail as possible and this young House Finch afforded me just that opportunity. As I photograph birds 10-20 feet out my kitchen window, the biggest variable is lighting based upon the time of the day and the weather. Some times, all factors come together for a high resolution result...lots of times they don't :-) Hope you enjoy this juvenile finch standing in the ever present seed bowl. Bill:)

Your aim is getting much better! I have been thinking about getting a wireless shutter release and putting camera on tripod outside pre focused. After about an hour I think the birds etc will ignore it.

Very nice Bill. I like David's idea of the wireless shutter remote. I have one myself and use it all the time.....

Whoo! Excellent image. Talk of "wireless releases" makes me green with envy.

Stellar clarity, lighting and feather textures in this awesome capture of the young finch, standing in the feed bowl, complacently unaware that it is under close scrutiny. Can't get much more detailed than that, unless through an electron microscope. Good one, Bill!

I was thinking the same thing as Fred..... Not easy to capture our wild birds. They are afraid of me and my camera.. Nice clean capture. Aloha

Great Job Bill and far better to grab these shots with camera in hand. Lighting is often key esp side lighting for extra detail

You got exactly what you aimed for! My camera doesn't do as well at 20 feet. that is what most of my house finch shots have been. Really find detail and a wonderful capture of it's character.
