With an attitude.

I think he's spotted me.... ========== Facebook dialog about the photo I posted a year ago today (copied below): Dave Evans : How long did you have to wait for this shot? Me : Aha! An interesting question. Technically less than 1 minute, but I was shooting continuous mode so "wait" is the wrong word. Overall I shot 44 pictures over the course of about 5 minutes from three locations; this was the 19th in the set. Didn't know I'd caught it until I reviewed the images later. ========== For that matter, I didn't know the bird had dropped the seed until I reviewed the images... Photographing birds has some resemblance to baseball photography . If you look at this pic's EXIF data you'll note that I'd not changed the settings since the previous day's ballgame. They're a good starting point. Also like sports work, bird photography requires anticipation and involves some portion of luck. The sort of just-shoot-lots-of-pix mentality described above (and here ) is probably a necessity. On the other hand, I'm no more a bird photographer than I am a serious birder. So take these comments with a grain of salt, and study the wildlife photographers I mentioned a few days back . ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps . Number of project photos taken: 44 Title of " roll :" Goldfinches & Grackles Other photos taken on 5/9/2012: 21 rather dull pix, with the Nikon 1--"Flowers, a Cat, Birds"
