Hi Asbed.
I welcome your use of ISO 800. Sometimes it is a great deal. You managed to freeze a fine bird at very nice pose. And sharpness of the image is super as well as colour rendition. You also managed to compose the image very well despite the flying object. Your in-flight series is terrific. TFS and all the best for you.

Hi Asbed. Not an easy thing to do when the light is so low. But you have done well. You enjoy capturing birds in flight . Bright colours and timming. well done TFS.

Bonjour Asbed !
Même si la lumière était mauvaise, vous avez réussi à tirer le meilleur de votre ISO800, parfois on n'a pas le choix, on est obligé d'en venir là. Et dans ce cas-là, le résultat est agréable malgré les conditions difficiles. L'oiseau rouge vif ressort très bien sur le fond grisâtre, j'aime bien sa pose, il est difficile de les capturer en plein vol mais vous y avez très bien réussi. Félicitations !
Valérie.

Hello Asbed
The light may have been low but you still pulled of a superbly executed capture at Iso 800. Iso 800 is rarely used in any camera due to the high noise levels it can produce especially on inflights.
Looking at the shooting details you achieved a 1/2000 shutter which you could have easily dropped to 1/500 thus creating a lower iso...perhaps Iso 200 and achieved the same sharp details on the subject and reduced the noise considerably.
I personally think that Inflight photography is a great a great challenge and you are a master at it.
My Best Regards
Billy

Asbed,

Another great in flight catch. You got the color and wing motion just right. If you get a chance to look at my site tomorrow, I am posting a picture of a Cardinal just leaving the branch. The 2 shots would work well together. I like that you gave the plenty of room to fly out of the picture.

I to have trouble with noise in my pictures even at ISO 400.

Dear Asbed,
Despite of bad luminosity you could capture this beautiful bird so well panned keeping the object slightly left off centered. Very well timed shot with excellent POV & bird's wings distal blurr. TFS

Hello Asbed,
Your use of ISO 800 paid off and your noise management is successful. The result is a fine capture of a male Northern Cardinal in flight taken from a great POV with excellent timing and a striking contrast against the grey wintery BG.
Nice one and TFS!

Excelente conjunto Asbed, y más teniendo en cuenta la dificultad de la toma a un pequeño pájaro en vuelo y con poca luz. Fondo apropiado.
Saludos: Josep Ignasi.

Nicely timed in-flight capture Asbed! The Cardinal stands out nicely from the slightly duller forest background. Good job!

Bonjour Asbed!

Je me suis arrêté à cette image car elle est non seulement intéressante du point de vue technique, mais elle me plaît aussi pour son impact. Cette tache rouge qui évolue sur un fond gris est très bien vue. L'image a un côté irréel qui intrigue agréablement.

Amitiés

Markus

Hi Asbed,

A good capture of the red cardinal inflight which is difficult to do. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the bird. The quality of the light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.
