Pine Siskin. Canon 5d4, 500mm + 1.4TC, tripod, 1/3200 @ f5.6, ISO 1000

I missed my usual post on Sunday as I’ve been pretty busy with a special project that I’ll post about shortly and also with photographing a lot of birds, both those migrating and those that will stay the winter. This is a pine siskin taking a bath in the bird bath in my backyard, captured right as it plunged in. I spot metered off the bird so the backyard and most of the foreground fell to black while the bird and water droplets are correctly exposed.
