I was out on my back deck testing my new 1D Mark IV a few days ago, and took some photos of several birds landing in the woods before they flew into my backyard feeders. It was getting pretty dark so I cranked up the ISO to 6400 and fired away. Being a former 7D user, I was surprised how well they came out. The bird was darker in the viewfinder than you see here. I was pleased overall with how the camera handled the color and exposure under very low light conditions too. Now, my hope is that an Ivory-billed Woodpecker will fly in to check out my hot pepper suet feeders.:S3:
Canon 1D Mark IV, ISO 6400, 500 mm f/4L IS + 1.4x TC, f/5.6 at 1/250 sec; Gitzo 1320 tripod on a gimbal head. PP in LR 4.2 with substantial cropping to about 50% with more on the right than on the left; adjustment brush to soften and de-noise the BG; there is still noise in the bird and a little noise left in the BG. I also removed an errant twig or two from the background. C/C always encouraged and welcome.
Thanks & Best regards,
Dennis
