    Driving in an area that had received alot of rain, i happened upon this summer tanager. I shot off hand using the window frame of the car for a soldi mount. I was able to capture the photo, I was lucky to capture at such low light but my Is lens helped

    Canon EOS 7D, Canon EF 500L IS lens with a 1.4 extender
    1/40, f5.6, ISO 400, Exposure -2/3
    Thanks for looking at my Photos

    Nice capture and impressive sharpness for 1/40 sec.

    It looks just a bit dark on my monitor and I would crop a little off the top.

    Nice bird. Needed a bit more d-o-f for the tail with this over-the-shoulder pose. I'd lose some off the top, some off the right, and the one twig on the left frame-edge.

    Hi Robert,

    Great color on the bird, in this shot I might pull the ISO on the 7D, at least ISO 800. Agree with Artie on the crop, IMO the HA its not perfect, maybe a little bit toward us.
