Juvenile Goldfinch

Gallery: AvianPosted August 17, 2016143 views2 comments

I spent some time this morning waiting for the Goldfinches to get accustomed to me and start feeding on the Anise Hyssop seeds in our gardens. I don't think it took more than 15 minutes for them to decide the guy with the camera was ok.

7DII, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600mm, hand held, f/7.1, 1/640, iso 1000, aperture priority, pattern metering. Processed in LR5 & CS6. Cropped to 12 MP before resizing. Taken at 10:08 AM under overcast skies. I warmed it up a bit in post processing.

Comments and criticisms are appreciated.

Thanks,

Very nice, Dennis. Really good detail and the colors in the flowers and background really look great with the muted colors of this Goldfinch.
