gold finch wine

a good year for birds

You've captured a great moment here, Joe! How long did you have to sit and wait?

 

I think there's potential to improve it, too...

some fill flash could really put shine on those colorful feathers, and would put a catch-light in the eye. Maybe something could be done--a second flash?--to illuminate the glass. Don't lose the background, either, though... the colors there are wonderful!

 

Really nice work, Joe.

thanks peter for commenting . if i figure out what fill flash is i,ll try it.

Hey Joe!

 

I don't know anything about your particular camera, but here's a thread on using fill flash.

Regardless, your photo is still a really fine one!

Very nice picture!

How long did you wait until the bird landed?

Greetings

i waited about an hour; i had a finch feeder close so i just had to wait till there were to many finches to land on the feeder, the closes object for them to land on and wait there turn at the feeder was the wine glass, witch by the way has grape juice in it, they will drink grape juice.
