Re: Another 'Dickie' bird...

At Monday, you wrote:

It looks like a purple finch to me-- and I have a ton of them at the feeder. You DO know that there are a lot of variations in birds-- I have yet to see one that looks exactly like the illustration inn the bird guide for example. 

Nope... just new to bird photography and finding it a real challenge.  :)

I was impressed by optic and even more impressed by the fact that you could hand hold it-- and the "noise" I am sure was from the scanner-- or from a tad of over-sharpening in PhotoShop if you did some adjustments there.


Yes, I think I oversharpened it... I used the unsharp mask at 1200 dpi and then when I reduced it to 100 dpi for the web, it sort of lost the 'look', so I ran it through the unsharp mask again. Looks OK to my simple mind, but probably introduced more noise.

I'll try to do it again, when I have some time....

Thanks.
