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, 80% of frame
Commentary: Another of my "quiet" images - muted colors; the
bird not dominating the frame; simple but pleasing habitat. 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. I like how it blends in with these flowers.
