Newsy > 80 foot tree... I'm about 150 feet away.  Those black spots around its' head are bugs, it was 9 degrees C today.  Cropped.
Newsy > Trying to focus on the eyes - cropped for portrait.
Newsy > Starlings at Richmond West Dike.  Test shot to check exposure levels of a dark bird against a bright sky.  Original was fairly underexposed so this version is post processed a fair bit for brightness using curves. It has washed out the blue sky.
Newsy > Test shot trying to focus on his eye through the maze of stalks.

Great Blue Heron at Richmond North Dike.  He's about 80 feet away.
Newsy > Rufous Sided Towhee at Richmond Nature Park.

Hand held with Sigma 50-500mm.

A fair bit of post processing on this shot - cropped, levels, usm sharpening, white balance, and Shadows/Highlights tool to try to bring out detail in the dark head.  Maybe made it a little blue-ish.

Newsy > Dark Eyed Junco at Richmond Nature Park.  Early in the learning curve for this new camera - the Sony Alpha A700 + Sigma 50-500mm lens (aka Bigma).

This was hand held at 500mm,  1/100, f8, iso800; cropped, minor noise reduction, some minor PP including histogram levels clip, contrast, sharpening, saturation.  I had DRO at a higher level than standard which likely caused the noise to be accentuated.

The more I look at this shot, the more I like the light.  Pastels?
