This inquisitive Blue Jay was nice enough to pause for his pic before he flew away.
Nikon D300, 400mm, f/4.5, ISO 400, 1/320 second, Aperture Mode.
Your suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks for looking,
Tom

Tom,
The first thing I wonder is how on earth were you able to get so close to him using a 40 mm lens? I'm impressed! I have such a hard time shooting blue jays--they see me coming no matter how far away I am. lol
Nice smooth background!
Jean
Edit: Oops--I just saw another one of your posts. I think maybe the 40mm was a typo? Anyway, it's still a nice close-up!

Hi Jean,Originally Posted by Jean Chang
My trained, pet Blue Jay is quite comfortable with me (nah, just kidding). :)
It should read 400mm lens (original post now edited and corrected). There is no way that I would be able to get that close using a 40 mm lens. :)
Thanks for your nice words, :)

Nice capture. I am thinking it may be a little dark. Maybe adding a bit of exposure or some fill flash would have lightened him up a bit. Nice capture and very sharp head.
Hi Nick,
Thanks for the nice words. Your suggestions are well taken.
Happy Fourth of July,
Tom
very nice photo, i love how the bird is slightly tilting his head towards the camera, and its sharp,well done!
Thanks for noticing the head pose and for your kind words. :)
Tom
