Among Cardinals



Description:             This is one of my favorite photos that I took at the beginning of my fall semester. I was looking to kill time before my next class so I went walking around campus. but community colleges tend to be very small and mine was and is no exception. so I decided instead to just sat in one spot and waited for an opportunity to take a shot to arise.

Then, I noticed there was a small flock of birds around a berry tree. I really wanted to get a nice bird shot but I was afraid of scaring them off. The camera I had (and current still have), which is the Canon EOS Rebel T3i, makes a pretty loud noise when taking photos. so I ruled out a close range shots, grabbed my 50-250mm lens, and started trying to get a perfect shot of any of these birds. I originally was looking at the birds perched in the tree but then this beautiful little male cardinal flew onto a broken piece of concrete close to where I was standing and the rest is history.

  1. Absolutely beautiful shot I love it much better then what I would get with my little handheld Panasonic. You and I have the same camera I'll be using mine as soon as I get a batter charger for it.
