It was set on TV. The light here, as you well know, is so bright so I wanted to shoot these birds at extreme forced shutter speed in bright light. So I was able to take one pic at a time. That forced shutter made a darker pic but also got the birds shading nice and clear. Shutter speed was set at 1/4000 on the TV setting. ISO 100.

I love vacation:) <br /><br />This summer has been interesting. I've had to be very strict with my spending on the last part of summer as is always the case before I start back up again with school. And of course, everything decides to act up when you least want them to:)<br /><br />I put the Sparrows in this post for my European friends who have lost their populations. I don't know if they did a mass migration as I had read that somewhere or if they are dying in your part of the world(which I hope isn't the case). Here they are plentiful.....and a common sight. In fact, there are so many varieties of them. But it's because of your issues in England, France and other parts that I look at these birds differently. We take too much for granted and then when they're gone, we regret not paying better attention to the things around us. Or at least that's how I am. So this post was specifically placed up for my European friends:) Glad you enjoyed.Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-27237905563218821182012-08-05T10:18:23.326-07:002012-08-05T10:18:23.326-07:00Muchisimas gracias:) Es muy calurosa aqui tambien ...Muchisimas gracias:) Es muy calurosa aqui tambien en Tucson:) Pero quizas, QUIZAS:) va a llover hoy:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-64619608074679202292012-08-05T08:39:12.635-07:002012-08-05T08:39:12.635-07:00Seems like the same birds visit your feeders as do...Seems like the same birds visit your feeders as do mine during the winter months in Yarnell.
