Goldfinch’s
-
A few shots of Goldfinch’s taken this afternoon in my back garden, a sharper number three would have made my day, but they are quick little critters and with the light fading fast, and my fingers seizing up , I decided to give it another go tomorrow. any tips or advice greatly appreciated, as always..
Excellent work, I like the second and third one. Great quality and colors can you post some more details?
I like your shots, beautiful little birds..i wish they would come into my garden:)
A very good set indeed. As there is no exif data maybe you could add the shot info for those eager to emulate :wink: ……../Mikka
For Cubanjunkey, I never saw them in my garden until I started putting out feeders now sometimes I have up to 20 at a time along with lots of other species../Mikka
Im a sucker for Goldfinches and these are all nice,my favourite has to be no3 as i like the action shot.
Well taken..Woke up to a field full of goldies this morning at the front of my house but none was interested in the new Niger feeder I have out maybe have some luck soon.
Cheers Gareth
Thanks all for your comments, I usually shoot sport, but nothing much on today, so I decided to set up a make shift hide, near a feeder,
If you want to attract Goldfinch’s to your garden, they feed on ‘ black Niger seed’ in a special feeder, and if you are feeding them for the first time, they will take at least a week to find their way, and once they do, they are very hungry ….Number 1. Nikon D3, lens 400mm f4, spot metering, AP, ISO 1000 .
Number 2. Nikon D3, lens 400mm f4, spot metering, AP, ISO 800.
Number 3, Nikon D3, lens 400mm f2.8, spot metering, AP, ISO 800.
For some reason the extif info in Photoshop does not include shutter speed, if any one has the answer I would be glad to hear it..
regardsGreat set. #3 is an excellent dynamic capture. Well done.
The shutter speed may be found if you right click on the image & go to “details” under “properties” of the original file.Great set especially #3. You could try using a speed light or two on a low manual power setting to freeze the action, although it does call for a bit of trial and error.
