Two pair of goldfinches spent the afternoon eating sunflower and cosmos seeds in our front yard today.

    Thanks! It was just one shot (out of MANY I took that afternoon) where the finch and the sunflower were in the same focal plane relative to the camera. So even though it was f5.6, both were in focus. Lately I’ve been shooting in TAv mode on my Pentax K-1 - fixing the shutter speed and aperture, letting the ISO vary. Modern digital cameras already have pretty low noise at ISO’s I used to think of as “high” on film. (I’m old enough to have “pushed” ISO 1000 film a couple additional stops in the darkroom.) Lightroom’s new Noise Reduction function is another game changer.
