[Leica] Eastern Bluebird

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Hi Luis,

I was walking on a path through the meadow with my son. About 20  
meters in front of us were a few very small trees with a couple birds  
flying back and forth. As soon as one landed on a branch I started  
taking photos. Even with a 400mm lens, the birds are very small in  
the photo so a lot of cropping is required. I really didn't wait for  
them. It was just luck they were there. I know Doug knows all the  
tricks but I find it is very critical what ISO to use for a good  
shutter speed and the lowest noise because of so much cropping. Since  
I don't have a blind to shoot from I am always far from the birds. I  
am just starting to learn how to get closer to them so they don't fly  
away too soon.

Thanks for looking and for your very nice comment.

Len
