<\/p>\nThe 3D effect is strong in this one..<\/p>\n

1\/4000, f\/6.3, ISO 500, Canon 7D Mark II, Canon EF 500mm f\/4L IS II USM + EF 1.4 III Extender, not baited, set up or called in<\/em><\/p>\n Yesterday morning this adult White-crowned Sparrow paused ‘his’ foraging in a very large greasewood bush for long enough for me to get some photos in pretty nice light. He didn’t give me much pose variety but a couple of things about the setting jumped out at me in a positive way.<\/p>\n First I like the way he’s framed on two sides, below and behind him, by the sharp (in more ways than one) greasewood thorns, twigs and leaves with him looking into the open space to our right.<\/p>\n And the contrast between the sharp foreground greasewood and the out of focus greasewood in the background provides an unusually strong 3D effect that is only enhanced by the presence of the handsome sparrow. For me the three dimensional aspects of this photo are about as strong as any other photo I remember taking. Ever.<\/p>\n I know, it’s ‘only’ a sparrow and a common one at that. But I sure think he placed himself well in the frame, even if he is slightly centered..<\/p>\n Ron<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The 3D effect is strong in this one..<\/p>\n
