This morning it's cardinals
Aug 11, 2015 08:24:32 #
Out early with the Fujifilm X-S1; a couple families of cardinals were visiting the feeder and were very very flighty. The birds are still a little scraggly from the molt but I managed to capture a few poses by shooting through the leaves and branches of a crepe myrtle. I left the leaves and branches out of focus in front of the subject on purpose. In some instances because of the DOF the blurred leaves created somewhat of a frame for the bird. All shots in manual at ISO 400, 90.4mm, f5.6, 1/80th to 1/125th. Please try the downloads.

Nice set Jim!
Your cardinals seem to have a lot more black in their feathers than mine, very pretty!
Don't you love sneaking around just to get a shot!! Lol!!

Great set; I guess Mr. Cardinal didn't bring his lady with him.
Oh she was there Sirius and every time I pointed the camera at her she dived into the bushes; the lady was shy. Thanks for the visit and the nice comment, much appreciated my friend. :-D
