Goldfinch take off

[José Rodríguez]

I have been shoting birds, in the park close to my home, the lasts weeks. This is a typical pic. There must be always some detail that ruins the pic. Poor light, branches that fool your af, good light but no good subjects,.... I think that's what will make any success very worth (whenever sucess comes!)
This one got ruined because the branches and the flat poor light in the scene. Anyway If I keep practicing sooner or later I will nail one!

Hi Jose - keep at it - your hard work will be rewarded :)

I have been attempting small birds in flight and it is very difficult! This is much nicer than I usually get :) I'm starting to think acquiring and setting up additional outdoor lighting is the way to go!
