About the Image(s)
A few weeks ago I was trying out different camera setting in an ongoing attempt to catch something, a bird, a butterfly, a witch, anything in flight. There were many birds at the feeders in my yard, but none were taking off or landing. Then I saw a little finch clinging to a twig and looking pensively off into the distance - or future. A shaft of light found its way through the trees to illuminate him. I photographed him through my sunroom window with a Canon 80 D, and Tamron 16-300mm lens fitted with a circular polarizer and set to 300 mm. The camera was hand held and the settings were: 1/1000 sec at f 6.3, ISO 2000.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

Also since you're already shooting through a window, pay attention to which what glass it is (coatings and thickness esp) and what direction it faces: I've found that since my windows point due north I can eschew a polarizer and thus not affect my shooting speeds adversely.
