Shoot what shows up..sparrow

beepclick · 18th of June 2008 (Wed)

I hung out by the bird feeder on the patio of our building today with my 300mm f/4 and 1.4x TC. The only visitors were sparrows, so that's what I shot. I was hoping for a cardinal or two.

Nice catch. Were you using IS?

Yes, I had IS on, using a monopod while sitting in a deck chair. That lens gathers a lot of light, even with the TC - the feeder was in a shadow, and I didn't use flash.
