More DOF: Yellow-rumped Warbler, Radiant Cardinal Etc. (6)

Hi PhotoFriends,

Today is more gloomier than my post yesterday titled: (Blue Jay, Morning Dove, Dapper Titmouse and others (12) https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1246973! It’s been chilly and rain, rain, rain – a week of rain.

I took Tim Kuhn’s advice, https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1246973/0#11860072 that he posted in my last thread providing more depth of field in my captures today. It’s difficult. More DOF means slower shutter speeds Yes, I could move back but that solves nothing. I did remove the extension tubes and moved a little farther back so their were less pixels on the bird. Yes, I could crank up the ISO but then you get all that nasty grain. If you care about technical things, these are mostly around F11 or so, maybe F13 in a few.

-------------


Let’s see how my birdies are doing today! They are pretty wet so if their feathers look mushy, you know why. Streaks are rain …

Pix 1 – Male Cardinal

“I feel so handsome in my red tuxedo, I wish there was another party to go to today!”

Pix 2 – Yellow-rumped Warbler

“Hey Mr. Cardinal, you surely got a nice buffet and wonderful perches as well as a pretty flower garden to spend your days. I was just migrating through and looked down and decided to give this cool place a look see and grab a bite to eat. I am so glad I did! Your baby Sparrow friend looks well nurtured here too!”

Thank you Socrate on the correct bird ID!

Pix 3 – Baby House Sparrow

Yes, Yellow-rumped Warbler! Most baby birds have one Dad and one Mom but here I have many doting parents! Mrs. Gardener’s place rocks

Pix 4 – Yellow-rumped Warbler

“I will definitely add this place to my GPS so I can drop by and say HELLO! Again!”

Pix 5 – American GoldFinch

“That’s a great idea. Then you can come to my next birthday party

Pix 6 – Carolina Chickadee

“I am looking forward to the next birthday party now that I have recovered! Do you all notice my belly has gone back to normal

Thank you all for dropping in to say Hello!!

Hope you enjoyed my new photos!

Hi BB,

I think you need the faster shutter as your detail has dropped, possibly you can go someplace in between with the f stop. If all else fails, go wide open and focus on the eye. #3 is up to your previous standard and of cause then it's great!

Very nice job on these, BB. They look very good on my laptop, with fine detail and colors.
I believe your Pine Siskin is a Yellow-rumped Warbler.

Six very nice images BB. Well done, and the DOF doesn't seem to have affected the BG. What is your secret?

I DO think these look better BB. Some of the resulting improvements are subtle but the results are more natural looking birds. To my eye this set is marvelous, the backgrounds are wonderful and birds are sharp with natural looking details. Very well done

Great set! To the warbler watching warriors the yellow rumped has the nickname "Butter-Butt".

Interesting. I usually try to minimize DOF so as to avoid this field guide vibe. I rarely shoot outside f/2.8 - 5.6, with 1/250 being the lower limit for handheld shots with a 400 or 500 mm VR lens. (I would sometimes get away with 1/100 on the old 12 MP sensors, but the 24/36 MP sensors are a tad less forgiving.)
