No decent light Cardinal

[Jason G. Harrison]

We have been covered in fog, rain, and clouds for about 2 weeks now. No decent light to work with for the most part. Trying to improve my skills in bad light so I have been shooting alot in it lately.

D300s, 600VR, 1.4tc, f/6.3, ISO 1600, 1/200th SS, +.7EV comp



Removed a twig protruding from the side of the frame. Hope you enjoyed...and as always C&C welcome.

I like the pose, sharpness and the lovely soft colors.
Very impressive ISO 1600 performance or has some noise reduction been applied?

[Jason G. Harrison]

Leo, slight noise reduction was applied to the background and in the shadow area underneath the tail. None was applied to the subject anywhere else. Thanks...

[Leo Berzins]

Thanks Jason.
I'm still very impressed.

I hear ya about the weather lately - all I can do is "make lemonade"!

This is a really nice sharp and well posed shot though! Nice even exposure and the BG is not bad at all!

I think that the soft light and muted background allows her subtle beauty to dominate the image. Nicely executed.

Exactly what Grace said ! Lovely details

I like it! Especially the beak and eye. Love the clean BG.
