This is the very first red winged blackbird that I've seen this spring and I have no clue who he was showing off to...but definitely staking out his territory. Sorry for the motion blur in the left wing...this was 1/80th of a second and he was hopping around..) Once again..very late day light, 15 minutes prior to sunset. {}
Boy he is just a hollarin for sure. Shows the red on his wings very nicely. Good shot. I like it very much. Cheers Gale
ISO was 160...I know...I could have upped the ISO and had some more shutter speed. I didn't feel like having any noise on this predominantly black bird however. Is this why you ask???
Jim, I ask because I'm wondering about noise in the X. Didn't see any here, so I was curious, since you said it was very late in the day. My Eagle pics from a week ago were shot at ISO 1100 to 1400, and had considerable noise in the dark areas.... :? Thanks, Frank
