Song Sparrow

This was a somewhat difficult shot, being a dark morning and a dark bird. I had to run the ISO much higher than I wanted to with this camera. Still, it turned out ok.

1/500s f/5.6 at 400.0mm iso3200 full exif

Cute fella. Some grain in the background but I like the effect, soft even bokah rather than patterned.

Very nice shot Vern!

Excellent capture. Looking at the EXIF data, you pushed the limit with a long lens. IMage came out well defined and sharp. Well done.

Despite the dark you got a good result Vern.

A good result at such ISO and the apparent noise is acceptable. Well done, Vern.
