Goldfinch in my garden.

[Rebel06 Paul]

Poor light so had to up the iso to 6400.

G'day Paul

Don't worry about the ISO - two beaut images for us to enjoy

ps- do you / anyone here / ever hark back to film days when ISO-1600 was extraordinary and mind blowing stuff?

I would regularly use ISO400 but that's about as far as I pushed it.
I used Ilford for B/W and Fuji For Colour.

I was there and never used 1600. I remember trying 800? I had a Minolta HiMatic-E 35mm and it was brilliant. How do you remember all this stuff from ancient times ??

Nicely composed shots but look a little soft on my screen. A touch of unsharp mask cures it. The pose in #1 just gets it for me.

Excellent colour and the background, although busy is soft enough not to be distracting. I agree the plumage does look a little soft but the high ISO wouldn't help. I like the pose in #1 the best.

[David_MC]

Excellent shots. I also prefer the pose in the first. Nice smooth background and nice colors too.

2 good pix of the goldfinch. seeing enough details in the face, but perhaps some more sharpening would bring some chest feather details up.
well done
