It's a house finch. The little bit of red sure stands out in the gray winter, doesn't it?thats a perfect photo-gorgeous little bird. Do you know what kind?
Very nice, have you heard of the Looney 11 rule? I've been using it and have gotten near perfect exposures every time.Another moon attempt, this time with the PL100-400 and using high-res mode. It was a bit breezy and my tripod is definitely not so wobble-free to handle the setup. The tripod was included free with the purchase of the camera body, so I guess it's worth every penny? I might just try handheld tonight if the sky permits.

I can make just about any lens into a macro lens. ? I do have a dedicated 105mm 1:1 macro lens; I used it quite a bit over the summer but haven't used it lately. I also have a Lensbaby Velvet 56 which is a 1:2 lens, so not a full macro, but allows focusing within inches. I got extension tubes a few weeks ago, so most of my recent work I've used those for even closer focusing. I also have screw on macro filters for some of my other lensbabies, and my last trick is a snap-on Raynox filter that I can fit on most of my normal lenses.do you use a macro lens, or close up lenses, or both for your wonderful images?
They are not, and they often seem to hang out with the sparrows.We get
Goldfinch
Greenfinch
Chaffinch
Never seen a house finch. Are they rare?
