This is an ISO test. I've been trying to find a way to get better photos of dark birds with light behind. I decided to try a higher ISO today - 1600. I thought they would turn out really grainy, but they seemed alright. More colour detail does show up, rather than the intense black. Then I tried to crop as well, thinking that would really show the grain. Still seems alright to me. I cropped off both sides, but kept the height. This nest is difficult to get a clear shot of, because of the many branches, this is the best I could do. Though Mum is not in a great position, I thought this photo was cute. The babies are about a week old.
