Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch |
Subject: Lesser Goldfinch (Carduelis
psaltria)
Place: Desert Botanical Gardens, Phoenix, AZ, USA
Date: September 2002
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6),
SB28, tripod
Film: Fujichrome Sensia 100
Exposure: Aperture priority matrix metered, flash fill @ -1.7
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 90% of frame
Commentary: Another of my "quiet" images where the bird does
not dominate the frame, but appears as a supporting element in the
overall composition. The Lesser Goldfinch is not as colorful as the
better known American Goldfinch of much of the US, but it is a lot
more common in the southwestern states.
