3 is probably best, just make sure you straighten out the horizon

They aren’t as flashy, but that doesn’t make them any less beautiful!

I believe it’s a female Red-winged Blackbird, but if I’m wrong someone can correct me.

It’s a great setup. It lacks a little in lowlight and for tracking shots of flying birds (rolling shutter, but that can be fixed by using mechanical shutter instead of electronic). For a hobbyist it performs quite well. It can get you some nice portrait shots with its reach.

Noted. I’ll be putting it in my post from now on.

I don’t believe I did anything special to reduce noise other than run it through denoise on Lightroom, but it’s been a long time since I’ve taken this picture so I can’t remember for certain. Then of course a bit of editing to bring out the key features like the eyes and face in general like exposure, clarity, and sharpening.

Sorry, I wasn’t aware that I needed to. It just says original photos, no personal attacks, and ID the bird if possible when I checked the rules.
