Passer montana

[Alexander Koenders]

Flying litlle birds are not easy to photograph.

Olympus E3, Zuiko E300 F2.8, Zuiko 2.0 converter, 600mm Focuslength, 1/1000sec, F8, ISO400, -0.7stops

Lovely composition, wing position, and light. Not an easy thing to do either. I do see a little noise in the feathers. I suspect that -0.7 left you a little underexposed and you had to do a little recovery. Still, an image to be proud of.

You are right Doug. I needed anoff shutterspeed to make this picture and I didn't want to use more iso so I tried to resolve the probleem by underexpose the photograph;) Good eyes you have:D

I can live with the noise. It is a superb image.

One of my favorite sparrows; though I've never really seen one. Good image; Might have created a layer of the BG and used some "Gausian blur" to diffuse the regions were colour don't completely blend together (soften it up). Good image, that being said. Like it. ;-)
