Red-winged black bird sings... by dcstep, on Flickr

These guys are all over the place around Denver at this time of year, but I finally got the classic pose of the bird straddling two branches. The light was pretty strong, so I couldn't quite get the feather detail that I wanted, but it works as is, I think.

looks like he's got a lot to say to you. Another great shot Dave.

These guys come in a month or so before the females and make their call every few seconds for weeks. They put a lot of energy into it and I'm amazed that they have any energy left for sex when the ladies arrive.

ahhh, definitely explains the narrow DoF

I like the picture

dcstep · 05-10-2011, 01:09 PM

Really great, classic demonstration of shallow DOF and use of bokeh. Not only is it textbook, but it's also interesting.

Dave

UdubBadger · 05-10-2011, 01:26 PM

I agree, very well shot Tim

And the lack of blade-induced octagons.

Great pic, TL.

Chewy734 · 05-10-2011, 02:58 PM

Is it bad that the first thing I try to do when I see Tim's pic is look for his watermark? It's like where's waldo.

Haven't posted anything in quite a while. Not sure I'm quite happy w/ the crop on this one, but it seems it would look weird if only part of the slider were in the pic. Ultimately, a better framing of the shot was probably in order.

The1 · 05-10-2011, 05:20 PM

i like it!

Chewy734 · 05-10-2011, 05:27 PM

looks good Jeff... what have you been busy with?

TL · 05-10-2011, 05:32 PM

^^^ yea what have you been up to?

bosstones · 05-10-2011, 08:32 PM

Well, in chronological order....another concussion, 70+ hour work weeks, SF trip for sister's wedding, 60+ hour work weeks followed by 2 weeks in Yuma on business...and getting screwed out of HHonors points by the government (lol), and, finally, jury duty.

I've got a bunch of pix from SF, but haven't had time to go thru them.

The1 · 05-10-2011, 08:34 PM

sorry for being so Canadian, but what's "HHonors"?
