Kathy,Pretty bird. Nice shot, great colours, great focus and very nice depth of field with a creamy background. Just curious, what f stop did you use?
Kathy,Kathy,
Thank you very much for your kind words.
I’ll have to check this for you when I get back home from work.
I’ll get back to you with an answer as soon as possible.
Kathy,
I looked up my settings:
Nikon D4
Nikon AF-S 600mm f/4.0 VR
Shutter Speed 1/2500 sec
ISO 800
Aperture f/5.0
I hope it helps you.
The background is a brick wall (someones shed) and it’s less than 2 m behind the eurasian jay. Between the wall and my fence is a path to other houses.
I stood in my living room with the doors open As I took this shot and many more of this beautiful bird.
Kathy,Thanks pimnauta. Nice to know that you can get the creamy background with a higher F stop than 4. I do love the photo!
