White-crowned sparrow among the pines
Hello, fine folks. Here is a picture I took in late May; I am now happily processing images from the Springtime as pickings are slim, as they say, here in ugly Toronto these days. Do allow me to disparage my no-longer-fair city, please! Moving on, this particular picture was taken with the Canon 7D and 70-300L at 269mm, iso400, 1/640, f5.6, and this is approximately 80% of the original capture. I do wish I'd included some more room on the bottom, which is to say that in the moment of shooting I wish I'd looked at the frame's entirety, but I must have become flustered; never before had I been so close to my second-favorite sparrow and by the time I'd moved myself a little bit lower the fine friend had all but turned away from me! I've been taking pictures of birds for about two years; perhaps two years from now I won't be as nervous when faced with opportunities deemed by y.t. to be beautiful and exciting! If presented with such an opportunity today I would up the iso, slightly lower the shutter speed, get down to f8 or beyond. At any rate, I'll be interested to hear your thoughts and opinions. Thank you kindly for taking the time...
