Sparrow Study

Sparrow Study · 07:07 AM

Don’t know why I didn’t do this earlier. I moved the bird feeder closer to the house. Now when I open the door to shoot the birds fly to the tree which is the perfect shooting distance from the house so I get that “natural” look a lot more easily. Duhhh! Should have done this ages ago.

Interesting shots and it certainly is a simple solution. Just out of curiosity however, what iso were you shooting at? There seems to be a considerable amount of noise in every image. It's not necessarily horrible, but i think it would make these shots a lot nice if there was less noise overall.

ISO 100 Owen. I did do a lot more PP than normal with these and that probably accounts for some of the noise. These shots were also taken with the 400mm on a monopods at a shutter speed of 100 or so.
