Bird Thread

[tim11]

Title: Seagull Attack.
Panasonic DMC-FZ20 (black in colour) in P mode (who had time for buttons when the birds were attacking?). Handheld (no remote).
Some heavy Photoshop post processing (mainly for effect - sharpening, contrast). I like to keep the picture natural, of course.
Hope you like the photos.

Here's a Chipping Sparrow.



And a male House Finch.



I know both were taken with at 300mm focal length, but I no longer have the other settings information.

Thanks Paul. I thought they were embedded in there, but I didn't know how to get to them. Once I remove them from my PS program, I have no clue how to get that info again. I assumed you would right click on the pic and go to properties, but I don't see it there. Do you mind telling me how to do this?

Lovely shots gracie328, particularly like the sparrow, super detail.

This next little fellow, was quite a long way away, & had to crop quite a bit to see him ......hope you like.....

I right click and choose properties...
but I use the Firefox browser with the FiXF extension.

I know there are similar add-ons for Internet Explorer that let you do the same, there're also shell extensions to show exif information in Windows Explorer - the names just don't come to mind right now.

Hope this helps.

(By the way, very nice pictures )
