A friend gave me a goldfinch feeder and a bag of thistle seed. The feeder requires the birds to eat hanging upside down. Apparently, goldfinches are among the few species that can do this. After a few weeks, I now have a flock of goldfinches that visits on a regular basis. They're very small and easily spooked. They don't seem to alight on branches near the feeder, so "natural" shots are not likely. So today I set up the *istD with the A400/5.6 and the A2XS converter. I attached a remote shutter release, so I could shoot down to 1/90th or so. I think this was at 5.6 @ 1/90th, ISO 400. It's cropped to about half the frame. On the tripod of course.
