Description

I love feeding the birds but found it was not satisfying in that I wanted a more natural look. I live in an apartment complex, have an old camera, so I need to get close up shots, nothing but hedge bushes and some pine trees.
I then took a branch that was broken off and stuck it in the middle of the hedge bush and with the pines as a backdrop, I can get more natural shots. I collect different branches for a variety of looks.

Exif: F Number: 5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/250 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 800, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 205.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi
