I needed to shoot some bird photos for a job I'm working on so I thought I'd get a few grabs from the bird feeders in our garden. I don't really like doing this because it somehow bothers me having the bird feeder in the photo (especially if it's a tacky, plastic one). Still, I needed some bird photos and the finches have been gorging themselves at our feeder in the back.
