Ruffled: Pistache the Lorikeet

Canon Xti (400D), 50mm f/1.4 lens, f/2.5, 1/160, ISO 400.

 

Always amazed at the quality of images my little Xti camera can take. I often feel pretty rotten about not having a better camera, but when I see shots like this I realize that getting good shots is about the photographer and their technical knowledge, no how many 5D Mark II's they own. I'd love a 5DMII, but I think I become a better technical photographer when I can't just crank the ISO, and actually have to figure out ways to get the perfect exposure.
