Bluebirds come to our cedar tree to eat the berries. I leaned out my patio and snapped this.

Behind The Lens

Location

It was a winter day, but the sun was out just enough to melt the snow on the cedar, creating drops of water on the needles. This tree sits near our deck and I can watch the bluebirds from our patio door window flitting over the tree, collecting the berries.

Time

Not sure. Mid day? I saw the birds, and grabbed my camera, poked my head and lens gently out of the patio door and took a dozen or so shots.

Lighting

No

Equipment

Nikon D3400 with a Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 G2 lens.

Inspiration

Hey, you look at these bright bluebirds and NOT want to take a shot.

Editing

Not much post processing. Maybe a bit of highlights and shadowing adjustment

In my camera bag

Feedback

Have your camera ready. Keep it set on Aperture Priority which I feel is the most flexible for shots that come at you unexpectedly.
