Little Bit of Attitiude

Little Bit of Attitiude
I spotted this little baby robin standing on the bottom slat of a fence at the Ky Horse Park. (may be the same little guy I photographed in the nest!) He just stood there with this determined stance while I set up my tripod and metered the light and took several shots at Macro setting! He didn't seem to care how close I got to him and he was still standing there when I finally left. Ready to take on the big world! ( 300 mm zoom lens, macro setting, f5.6 @ 1/250, 400 speed film).

  Thanks so much, Wally, Barbara, and Colette!!!

Wally, I was Very Close! My macro setting lets me focus at about 20 inches or so. And I actually stepped a little closer when I was closing up the tripod and he just stood his ground! He watched me very closely but didn't budge.

Thanks again,
Marie

  "Well, obviously, Marie, he was simply in awe of totality of the beauty of… your camera, eh… (he, he, he)

Wonderful photograph, great capture, terrific presentation, and a wonderful story, my dear friend. I love the superb DoF as well. Very, very well done - your good friend, Allan

  A new favorite of mine! Absolutely fantastic, Marie...a priceless pose, great DoF, and a well-earned shot after your trip there that day:-) Love the background created by the shallow DoF. A winner in my book!
