Bullfinch on a stick

A classic bird on a stick image.

I am still cementing my relationship with the Canon 1D MK4. Consequently, I have spent a lot of time recently photographing images similar to those I have photographed with the MK3 in the past . I am trying to form comparisons and tune the custom settings accordingly.

Here is a Bullfinch taken last week in the early evening.

Canon 1DMK4, 500mm, f6.3 1/1600, ISO400.

C&C Welcome

Cheers

Hi Austin,

Superb colour brought out by the evening sun! I love Bullfinches, but have never got round to photographing them. It looks a tiny bit dark on my screen and perhaps could have been positioned slightly higher in the frame, but its still a very nice bold shot. Hope you enjoy the new camera.

Cheers,

Lewis.

Lovely bold colours and nice catchlight.You need to find a more photogenic stick though.

I agree with Phil on this one. Nice oof bg by the way

Yep, it's a bird and it's on a stick. Not a particularly attractive stick as has been said. Good detail on the bird and a nice diffused background but a little central for my tastes.

Wish I had a few of these to photograph, they declined along with the orchards back in the 70's. Nice picture but looks to dark to me .

Bob.
