Black-capped Chickadee
by Dennis Plank
Another from a week or so ago. This was taken when I first started shooting from my new blind feeder setup and I didn't realize that I was going to have to back off on the zoom a bit even for birds as small as this. Therefore, I ended up adding canvas to the top to give the bird a bit more headroom.
7Dii, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600 mm, Jobu gimbal mounted to blind window, f/7.1, 1/60, iso 1600, aperture priority, pattern metering, -2/3 EV. Processed in LR & PS CC. Cropped a bit from the left and added canvas to the top for a 20 MP 4x5. I also removed a few oof needles that seemed distracting. I like the needle in front of the bird for the sense of scale it provides. This is a Douglas fir, so needles are 1 - 1 1/2 inches long. Taken October 20th at 9:34 am.
