Ya' did well, Frank! He appears fairly sharp and caught in a really nice setting. Don't know what sort of lighting you hoped for, but this appears to have been on an overcast day. Hence, the exposure has benefited. They are tough to meter if in bright sun light.

I've been trying for over a year to get one of these little fellows, and yesterday is my best try yet. Not quite as sharp as I might like (he moved his head just as I shot), I'm still pleased with this one. Their bodies are only about 2 to 3 inches, so with a 200mm I have to get quite close. They seem to know just when I'm "in my range", and wait just until I get my monopod planted to fly away. Anyway, here it is, taken yesterday down by Lake Ontario: http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/finally-american-goldfinch.html Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
