I got up this morning, and at about 8 am Mountain Daylight Time, there were a Stellers Jay and a Blue Jay squabbling over our feeder in the back yard, in the shade of a small forest of Pines (that green blur in the back) with our chain link fence showing nicely blurred.
The K-3 was set to my User Mode 2 (DA 55-300). TAv, 1/320@f/8, ISO Auto 100-6400, and the drive was Continuous High. All in camera corrections were off, SR on. Shot hand held between curtains through a double pane window. I applied the DA 55-300 profile in LightRoom after importing DNG. I added two stops so these are effectively at ISO 25400.
No cropping was performed (what would be the point?)
I don't think these are the world's best BIF shots. I was only one coffee away from staggering out of bed, and these birds can move.
All of you folks who complain about your BIF shots not turning out very well, take note.
I kind of like the first one with the squabble ...
