Description

Well I finally got the backyard theme image I was looking for but a day late!!! I was shooting the Goldfinches at my feeder and this guy showed up along with his bride... more to come. I was so happy to see him, I thought sure I'd never get the shot. Luckily I was using a tripod!

Exif: F Number: 3.5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/1250 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 145.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 50D
