Tufted Titmouse, Baeolophus bicolor - Horse Cove, Alabama
Thunderstorms
came through North Alabama this afternoon.
Here at home the rain fell lightly, though surrounding areas were heavily
soaked. Before the rain started falling
I setup near by bird feeders to test the new Nikon D7100 under low lighting
condition.
I set the ISO to
800 and waited for birds to appear. It
only took a few seconds before this Tufted Titmouse alighted on a nearby
branch. I took numerous image and I am
quite impressed with the D7100. At 800
ISO the image is almost noiseless. Before
I had the opportunity to check higher ISO raitings the rain started falling, so I
quickly got my gear inside. I’ll
check out higher ISO’s another day.
Though I did not
use the 1/3rd crop function of the D7100, I did crop the DX file to
the 1/3rd crop factor for this image. The
original image from the camera measured 13¼ inches by 20 inches, at
300dpi. This image was cropped to 11½
inches to 15½ inches at 300dpi. I’m
looking forward to checking out some the D7100’s other features over the
weekend.
