Right before sunset. Not taking any chances.. it seems the chickadees are more brave than the Cardinals.

What camera did you use for these, Wolf? They came out really nice.

What camera did you use for these, Wolf? They came out really nice.

All of these are with the same camera.. Nikon P900... just getting better at focusing. Today I was blessed with at least 3 or 4 pair of Cardinals feeding. They are always very shy with the camera.. I guess the auto focus or metering light freaks them out. But.. I was able to capture a few really good ones that I am very proud of.. Slight Editing to compensate for the sunset lighting conditions ( a bit dark ).

I noticed that immediately - your focusing skills are getting sharper. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Seriously, your pictures have been looking noticeably better now from when you first started posting here. Great job! Those are excellent photos of those cardinals :encouragement:

These next batch are from today .. and have been slightly edited via Polar. I will also ask for a contrast / compare.. by posting an unedited photo vs an edited one; looking for feedback.
