Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch


Subject: Curve-billed Thrasher (Toxostoma curvirostre)
Place: Phoenix, AZ, USA
Date: April 2002
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6), tripod
Film: Fujichrome Sensia 100
Exposure: aperture priority matrix metered, natural light, no fill flash
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 90% of original frame

Commentary: Another backyard shot, but rather than shoot through the closed glass patio door this is through a window a few feet away. It is difficult getting variety with the same species in a small working area, but with a different "collected" prop (the old wood instead of the rock) and with a different background, this looks quite different from my usual "bird on a rock" photos.
