Description
Finally after three previous posts, I think this post has this little bugger all in focus:-)))
As most of you know who have been following this series, this is the male Northern Cardinal. First I think I had him oversaturated, then my DOF was shallow and he wasn't all in focus. I finally read my Olympus owners manual and figured out "metering". Net result is better lighting and therefore better focus.
Here's the link for this male's attractive mate: Easy Lady
Thanks for sticking with me on this cardinal quest.
Bill:)
A ZOOM is good.

Attaboy Great shot!!
A super capture with a wonderful little subject. Great that you have kept trying to improve your work and you are right, this is better, though I thought your others looked great too.
Very nicely done, Bill, better for sure. :) Studying the manual helped as these guys are always a challenge!
it sure looks like a cardinal and this is one fine clear shot, Bill!
you did excellent Bill ... he is a beaut!
Another fine shot! Love your bird series. There are lots of Cardianls around St. Louis, and not just baseball players. I can't seem to get these colorful little guys to sit still long enough.
