Wanted to go to my favorite city park to shoot today because, as so rarely happens on a central Ohio winter day, the sun came out. I parked at the first open trail and there was this bunch of fat birds working to survive the winter. This crop is about 1/9 the original. It’s just a square out of the center.

http://collinbrendemuehl.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/bird1.jpg

I shot about 30 images but too many had bush branches in the way.

A cardinal pair came by for a visit but they were too skittish when I started to move with the camera.

K-1, F* 300/4.5

Next time I’ll remember the polarizing filter. But even so this isn’t too bad.

Ann San wanted to go to this park many years ago but wasn’t able to stop in Columbus. I used to shoot a lot here. It’s area is > 1 section, so not too much different area than Central Park. We just have statues, hawkers, or hookers.

That birdy is saying brrrrr I believe.  Were it mine, I'd reposition him
so he isn't dead center of a square..

Wow - you remember that visit that didn't happen..  I believe it was
when I was headed west just a couple of weeks after 9/11 in 2001...
I got a ticket for passing a truck in a construction zone... (I didn't
know where my exit would be and the truck blocked my view.. so I
floored it get around him..  I drove another couple of miles before I
got pulled over.. it threw everything off timing wise _ I had to stop in
a town and pay the fine so I could get out of Dodge.. ugh.. I had never
gotten a speeding ticket before .. or any sort of ticket..
I was a mess... hence, Columbus was not to be.

Thank you.

It’s a large image so I can crop as needed.

And we’ve never forgotten your kindness with that whirlwind tour of lower Manhattan.

Very nice Collin! I’m impressed with the sharpness after the cropping, and the DOF is used very well.

What sort of bird is it?

It's a male British House Sparrow, Passer domesticus.  Generally regarded as a pest in the USA.  Was once one of the most common birds here but it getting to be substantially rarer.  Send it back home.

we calls 'em ENGLISH sparrows  over here.. they are frequent visitors to
the fire escape outside my window.  They hang with the pigeons.  I'm
surprised to hear Rick ask who he is - as they frequent his neighborhood
as well.  Now I suspect he will find them everywhere.. :-)

I call them House Spartows as does Audubon. I’ve shot hundreds in my backyard. This shot would benefit from midrange contrast, easily achieved with limits adjustment.

There is so much to learn about these new computers, err cameras.
