Location
This image was captured in a blooming tree in my yard.Time
It was recorded at exactly 4pm.Lighting
The House Finch was in bright shade and the evening sun was hitting the background making a nice contrast.Equipment
This image was captured with an Olympus E-5 fitted with a Zuiko 50-200mm Lens set to 200mm. The exposure was 1/320 sec at f/4.5 and the ISO was set to 200 and mounted on a tripod.Inspiration
I was spending a nice evening capturing some of the birds visiting our yard.Editing
Very little post-processing was used other than crop and a little color pop.In my camera bag
I am currently shooting exclusively with Olympus products.Feedback
When using a telephoto, either shoot from a tripod or make sure that your shutter speed is at least equal to the focal length of your lens.
