Stormin_24 Cream of the Crop  More info | May 14, 2009 05:05 | #1 Seems like most birds have dissapeared from my yard these last few weeks.. Grackles and Goldfinches are all that's here for the moment... I'm having a difficult time with Goldfinches and my 400mm now... Exposure are not right... I wanted to venture out this weekend and see what I could find but rain is expected again... Anyways, caught this guy about 25' out from my deck yesterday late afternoon..  C&C always welcomed...

canonloader Cream of the Crop  More info | May 14, 2009 07:37 | #2 Grackles are cool birds. I only get them in my yard in late summer, when they gather for migration. I have to go to the park to see them any other time. Got lots of birds here in my yard though. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

canonloader Cream of the Crop More info | May 14, 2009 07:51 | #4 Looks like you used a big aperture with not enough DOF. Can't see the EXIF. What do you think is wrong with it? Mitch- ____...^.^...____

I like them too but away from the feeders... I have one feeder that isn't squirrel proof and that's the one they can get at.... canonloader wrote in post #7919288 Looks like you used a big aperture with not enough DOF. Can't see the EXIF. What do you think is wrong with it? I don't have a problem with this per say Mitch, but American Goldfinches instead... I think part of my problem with them is at days end, (4:00 - 7:00pm) the sun is directly behind me and glaring into the viewfinder as well... I've taken hundreds of GF and most are soft and OOF.. On a tripod with a remote too... Same with Cardinals.. New Hampshire State Bird: Purple Finch

I'm working on capturing the four that come to my feeder, I'm trying to get them in the right spot & light but they are spooky, sure is fun trying though. All the best, I'm amazed at just how color hues this bird really has... Candor wrote in post #7923465 If you can get the right light I think Grackles are great looking birds. I'm still trying... I know there are more colors on this bird... Especially green when the light is right... I'm still trying also... New Hampshire State Bird: Purple Finch
