Blue Jay Finally!

These guys are a PITB but after about an hour a pretty good shot, I think. Could have used more DOF maybe:dunno Gloomy out and I was trying to keep the shutter speed up and never thought to up the ISO.

I've found Blue Jays hard to get. I really like this shot. :clap

Maybe you could have had more DOF but the bokeh is very nice. I like the unique position of the bird, as you noted the lighting is somewhat dull, will that damn sun every come back out :dunno

Thanks Ric! Appreciate you taking a look.

Sun? Out? Nope. I am getting so use to shooting in gloom that when the sun was out, really out, the other day I muffed every shot. There is an ISO 100 on that camera, you can stop down...DOH:huh
