Stellers Jay

[Terry Olmsted]

The primary critiques I receive relate to noise. Since our lighting here in the Seattle region is often fairly low, I find I often use high ISOs (800 to 1600). I used blurring of the background to reduce the noise there.

I also note that it would be nice if the end of the tail were on the other side of the branch - I tried to get him to move it, but no luck...

I will spring for a 50D early next year - maybe that will help :)
