Wintertime 2019

Shot on a cloudy, dull day just before dusk.
The low lighting was a bit much for the camera to handle,
Even so, the P900 still provided a memory of the day.

********************************************************
Quick "distance" is where the Nikon P900 shines.
The Full Frame equivalent of this shot would be 1200mm.
For better quality results, the photo really needed my Full Frame DSLR & my 600mm Prime Lens (with a 2x extender)on a tripod. Nevertheless, a Bridge Camera was far easier to grab and shoot hand held. As the saying goes, if you don't want to totally miss the shot, the "best camera" is the camera you have in your hands... Moments after I got this shot, the Cardinals were gone.

That's a gorgeous capture, Liz. I wish we had these birds out here on the Left Coast. Ours are generally pretty bland in comparison. V

Nice shot of this puffed up cardinal. Glad you had the rather lighter P900. V
