Images of Spring returning: the birds are back
Taken this afternoon. Decided to get the D80 and 70-300 VR lens out and shoot some of the feeder before we take it down for the summer. Its actually been a while since I used the SLR I've been having so much fun with the G9.
Boy, the D80 sure can beat the G9 in certain ways, esp. lower light. Day was very overcast, sun was on the far side of the house so I had to bump the EV setting up +2 on the last 6 or so. I was also shooting thru the sun room window and had use fairly low shutter speeds so these aren't as sharp and I could wish for. Still most came out pretty decent.
Varieties shown include Crackles, Doves, Black birds, Finches and Starlings as they all competed for food. We had just filled it yesterday and its already almost empty a day later.
enjoy.
