cruzmisl Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 The other day I was snapping some photos of a goldfinch that visits my yard. I took a few photos, downloaded them to my computer and see this. I didn't even know the other one flew in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mguerra Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 cool capture That is too cool!!! Did you shoot that in RAW? Might be able to clean it up a little with some post processing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzmisl Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 No raw, its a Jpeg. I took it using my Sanyo Xacti HD1010 video camera. Not bad for a camera that fits in the palm of your hand and is primarily a video camera. I had it at full zoom (10X optical) and was only about 15 feet away. Those finches are small. Here is a video I took of a woodpecker in the same tree. http://home.cogeco.ca/~4re/SANY0589.MP4 Its a big file though since its HD. Also if it seems a bit muted (visually) its because it was taken through a window. I tried to get close outside but they fly away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNakedWhiz Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Even with a JPG you could mess a bit with the contrast and make it look a little better. Nifty photo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
