The background is a messy, but I am happy with the way this turned out. Mid song.

Been trying for this shot for a while! By far my best Purple Finch photo ever.

Photo from last night at Dafter Post Office. Wish it was sharper... High 4? Low 5? Thoughts appreciated

My absolutely gorgeous digiscoping pic! But it is the first digiscoping photo I’ve done that’s not a complete failure…

Great to see you experimenting with that! Yeah, it does take a while to get the hang of it.

Four stars, not tack sharp, uneven lighting, bird a little small in frame, somewhat busy background. Nice shot!

Nice! They’re extremely skittish.

Nice! My camera doesn’t allow a larger crop without taking the photos in jpeg.

Boreal Chickadee!! A very kind homeowner in Michigan's upper peninsula saw @Tanager 101 and I looking along the road for the reported Boreals, and invited us into her backyard where we were treated to point blank views of two of these amazing little lads. Probably the best views I'll have for a while of this rare and declining species in Michigan.

Are you changing the crop in camera or during editing?
