Lesser Goldfinch

Christopher Dodds October 14, 2022

Here is another from last December’s Best of Bosque workshop. It is a great example of the Sony Alpha 1 high ISO performance. Setting my exposure with a shutter speed of 1/5,000s allows me to capture anything that decides to make an appearance - I am able to photograph action and stationary birds, without any concern for noise in my images. The key is to ensure proper exposure. In this case, I was working the abundant and active Northern Pintails landing when this Lesser Goldfinch arrived in front of me - smile.
