About the Image(s)
Title: Tufted Titmouse
Description:
The Tufted Titmouse is a small songbird from North America, and it is very common here. It is very active and very cute, and I like photographing it a lot. This photo was taken on 12/27/2024. I like the bird pose and composition. In post-processing, I used PS Generative Fill to remove a few branches.
I used my new camera Nikon Z8 for taking this photo. I found this new camera difficult to focus well with a small bird jumping around among branches.
Camera: Nikon Z8, lens: 500mm, exposure: 1/2000 sec at f8.0, ISO 10000

Hi Xiao, this little bird is gorgeous! We don't have it here in Spain. Your crop enhances the bird by isolating it from the distracting branches, making it the main subject of the image. I love the tonalities throughout the image and the way the bird and branches create a diagonal composition.
I also have the same difficulties with my new camera. I think it's just a matter of time until I get familiar with the focus system and the camera's capabilities. Posted: 02/19/2025 23:14:26
