First use of a very low-mileage 5D2 in Tv mode/jpeg, with small birds (first full frame sensor as well).
F/11, 1/500th, ISO 500, 300mm f/2.8 + 2x ext, mostly clear @ 8:35am yesterday. American Goldfinch, 50% crop.
Merry Christmas:wavey:

Howard,
Do I understand that you took this as a JPEG?
The detail and pose are good, but I think there is a little noise in the background :toast: :toast:

Not noise you see Ken.. rather the clone out of a large vertical branch in front of the bird.
I should've disclosed it, my bad :wavey:
