Winter Birds 012814

Temperature out there in the 'teens at best.
Looking into my backyard, through double pane glass.
Camera: Pentax K10 D, with rather old manual focus lens, Spiratone Telephoto Plura-Coat, f/6.3 in 400mm length.
With the K10 Digital, yields magnification like a 600mm lens for 35mm film.
Birds were about 60 feet away.
Camera and lens handheld.
ASA set to 800.
Captured between f/6.3 and f/8 in Aperture Priority mode, shutter speed in neighborhood of 1/400 second.
I cropped the images a bit in software.
Finch, and Missouri Bluebird, out seeking some food on a cold sunny day.

Very striking pictures! We don't get bluebirds like that out here, that I've seen, so more's the pleasure.

Great shots of Bluebirds, but then what do we expect from you!

They look like they're actually enjoying the cold weather. Nice work Ed with
a handheld super long telephoto.
