Monday Cedar Waxwing Blogging

Cedar Waxwing - Marin County  2018

Taken last March. Hali spotted a group of  Cedar Waxwings noisily foraging in our (volunteer) privet tree. I got out an Olympus E-M10 with a 75-300mm lens attached and shot a number of photos through a sliding glass door. No burst mode used, single shots only.

So checking out the photo data, I see that I used a shutter speed of 1/2000th second with the lens pushed out to the 300mm max (600 35mm equiv.). What's interesting is the ISO that the camera used: 16,000! Wow . . . I would have thought that an ISO that high would have resulted in a completely unusable file. But no: not half bad!
