Black-Cap Chickadee (20171011-135027-PJG)
This certainly is NOT one of my better pieces, but it was a first for me. I have captured many a stationary black-capped chickadees successfully, but never one in flight, let alone with full spread. I was about 3 m (10 ft) away, focussed on the seed waiting for the chickadee. This was also the minimum focus distance of the lens, so the depth of field was greatly reduced at the setting I was at. The chickadee landed and I started the rapid-fire clicking. This was caught in the sequence.
The only reason I am posting this image, is that a friend of mine asked me to do so.
The image is not cropped, but it is processed to maximize the sharpness.
Taken at Centennial Park, in Moncton, NB, Canada on 11 October 2011.
