Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch |
Subject: Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia)
Place: Bosque del Apache NWR, NM, USA
Date: November 2002
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6),
car window
Film: Fuji Provia 100F
Exposure: Aperture priority matrix metered, natural light, no fill
flash
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 50% of frame
Commentary: Here's another image in what I call my quiet style,
where the bird does not dominate the image with either size or color,
but is shown as an element in the environment. I like how this
sparrow with many shades of brown and tan blends with the bush it is
sitting in. I also enjoy head-on views like this that allow us to see
the bird the way other birds do.
