Well, I don’t think we need to worry about the birds starving to death. At least this Lesser Goldfinch seems pretty well fed. There were plenty of Goldfinches out in the neighborhood this morning but the other birds seemed to have been driven off by the Starlings and Red Winged Blackbirds. This was a job for the big girl camera, Canon 7D Mark II with the Tamron 150-600 telephoto lens. Just a few minor adjustments in photoshop to bring out the colors and sharpen it up a tad.
Today’s quote is from photographer Freeman Patterson as published in The Tao of Photography by Phillipe L. Gross and S.I. Shapiro.
Seeing, in the finest and broadest sense, means using your senses, your intellect, and your emotions. It means encountering your subject matter with your whole being. It means looking beyond the labels of things and discovering the remarkable world around you.
