    Default In celebration of 3000: Blackburnian Warbler

    A pretty good milestone that I'm proud to have achieved on BPN: 3000 posts. I've learned alot here from many different contributors/members/moderators...and hopefully a few have learned a couple of tidbits from me in return. Thank you everyone for helping to make BPN THE internet's go-to place for bird/nature photography learning:cool:.

    Here is my favorite songbird - the Blackburnian Warbler. A regular at my folks' cottage every year, with this image taken last summer. Needless too say I can't wait for this upcoming season - the climbing temperatures and melting snow are a good sign of things to come. Appropriately enough this guy is salivating at the prospect of posing again for me!:D Here's to another 3000...and more!

    Canon 40D + 100-400L @400mm, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/320s., f/7.1, ISO 400, natural light, handheld, ~80% full-frame.

    Congratulations on the milestone! I always enjoy reading your insightful comments.

    Great image, I like the details, setting and soft light and would love to get an image of this species sometime.

    Daniel:

    Another big congrats, on your milestone. I agree with Axel about your comments, I always look forward to seeing them.

    This is a fine looking bird. I find the repetition of curves in the background very complimentary to the shape of the bird itself. Excellent exposure.

    Lets see, I only have 2500 comments to go, more or less, and a bunch of hard work, and some luck to get to your level. Should be no problem, in 10-12 years or so. :):):)

    Thanks for all you contribute to the site!

    Randy

    Well done on the 3000! Bird is tack sharp here. Love the colours and the "salivating for next pose" is great!
    Well done on a super image!
