BirdNrd Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Best ever shots of a Purple Finch yesterday. It was displaying to a female nearby. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/437991171 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/437991121 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes the bird look amputated. Awesome shot though! Headshots are different, though. If it’s just a headshot, it’s fine. But if the whole bird is there except for one thing, it’s annoying. Super nice lighting and sharpness, however! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, ebird updated. How did you embed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackburnian Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I got some of my favorite shots ever today thanks to a couple friendly Prothonotary Warblers. Please rate shots. https://ebird.org/checklist/S107611013 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, this one you have up is a lot better in terms of framing it, IMO https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/437862591 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKLland Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 @Birding Boy @BirdNrdI figured it out. You can still do it by dragging the file on a computer, but on a phone or ipad you can't embedd anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at 400 it wasn’t possible to get the full bird in the frame. Too close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to me like the tail was cut off by being on the other side of the feeder platform, not from cropping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm, at 400mm you could have reduced the zoom to 300mm, or less, couldn't you? 😉 I know, I know, I tend to forget that my zoom lens has a short end too. 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes we have to take what we get, which in this case is still a nice photo. 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to shoot at 400 almost all the time, often forgetting or ignoring that there are shorter options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadcykler Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Another Spring day. Overcast then sunny then raining, all while windy. Oh well, at least I got out there. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
