Mr. Friendly

We had some neat frost covering the trees and everything for most of the day from last night's fog,it made some spectacular lighting effects. I should have been out with the wide angle. Too much work today,only had about an hour and found this friendly guy in a ditch. Tomorrow I'll have the whole day to shoot-so it'll rain fo sho.

This is one of the best junco shots I have ever seen.

Hey,thanks! Appreciate it.

Truthfully,I need to try doing some set-up shooting instead of shooting them in a ditch out of the truck like this guy-then I can get a decent background.

Sweet Shot! I like the lighting on the junco!

Set up shots aren't nearly as satisfying.

Can I borrow your 400 mm lens for the weekend?

Personally, I like this background. It's not that buttery bg we all seem to look for, but it doesn't feel that overbusy, and the colors are gorgeous, and you can find every one of them mirrored in his feathers. Very nice.!
