Keep Off!

This photo never fails to make me laugh. I love the expression of this little guy, who seems intent on defending his rock (though I suspect it actually would like some food). Taking pictures of birds was a good experiment in shutter speed versus light, as I wanted to avoid the flash as much as possible. In many pictures, I actually felt that my focus was off, after experimenting, it quickly became clear that even if the bird wasn't moving quickly, the details of their wings are so fine that wind in their feathers was enough to cause some blur.

1/250s, f/4.8, 195mm
