Hi all, I've been busy taking care of my 15 month old grandson who is absolutely the cutest, smartest and most active little boy, ever;) My daughter-in-law had knee surgery...Anyway, that's why I've not been around lately. And it looks like I have whole lot of catching up to do.
This Hummingbird (don't have my field-guide with me so can't ID) lives on the Oregon Coast and I took this through a window. Canon 40D; Av f5, Eval -2/3; 1/800; ISO 800 and 100-400 @ 220mm
I like the pose Katie! Sharpness is going to be a challenge when photographing through a window. Whites on the left edge of the gorget seem a little hot. I'd like to see a tighter crop too. Thanks for posting!
Hi Katie,
What a sweet pretty little bird! I agree with Doug about the crop and it does look a little soft on my monitor too. It's good to have you back - we missed you!!
Regards,
Nicki
Welcome back Katie - agree with the above - a tighter crop will be better.
Did you have the car turned off when you took the photo???? The first time I took a photo from the car I had the car running - camera resting on the window and wondered why my shots were not as sharp as I expected.
Thank you all for the feedback, after I posted this I thought perhaps a tighter crop, mostly off the top? would be better. And Lance, it was through a beachhouse window. I think the original is a tad sharper; I'll have to check.
A Hummer
