House Finch Isolated By Use of Flash
Oct 6, 2022 05:00:22 #
This male house finch was perched on the top of a potted dwarf tree in warm late afternoon sunlight, mid-Jan 2022. The use of a fill flash using High Speed Sync and a high shutter speed isolated him, with the surroundings and background greatly under exposed. Then a bit of tweaking of the tones, contrast etc. turned everything but the bird and his perch into a textured black where you keep feeling you are almost seeing something. But what?

That's an interesting shot. I like the isolation effect. It looks like the bird is suffering from Finch Eye Disease. We're seeing a lot of it near the New England coast.

Luv the dark background-adds drama and the colors pop! Thanx for sharing.
