Oregon Junco
by Dennis Plank
I know they've reclassified it, but that's what it still is in my head. I spent an hour this afternoon redoing the feeder station in front of a blind I built last summer. The perch is a horizontal branch that the feeders are hanging from. With any luck this will be productive of several other species. I've also just started trying to use Lightroom as my organizational tool and front end processing-we'll see how that goes. It seems like a reasonable way to cull the junk anyhow.
1Div, 500mm f4 ISL + 1.4TC, Black Widow head mounted to blind window, f7.1, 1/160, iso1000, Av mode with -2/3 compensation (I was hoping for Chickadees and didn't want to blow out the white cheeks). I adjusted the WB a bit in LR5 and tweaked a couple of other sliders, then went to CS6 to rotate the image, crop it to 12.4MP, do some noise reduction and resize for the web. Taken this afternoon at 2:21 pm under cloudy skies.
Your comments and criticisms are most welcome.
Thanks for looking,

(As a side note....I find LR to be the easiest place to crop and rotate when necessary!)
