On a recent stop at Sandia Crest, outside of Albuquerque, NM.....using Doug Brown's directions, I found my way and photographed, these lovely birds. I had been trying for 5 years to get one species. To get all three in one spot was precious.
This image was shot through a window, patrons were not allowed on the outside deck..in the shade, all on snow....exposure nightmare...this is one of the better ones. I know it looks like high key image but I had to boost exposure to get the bird...they were very close....this image is 90% full frame
The original is spot on focus, I am still trying to figure out what happens when I size for BPN that causes my images to look unsharp.
Thanks for looking
