The eye of him hath seen me. Job 7: 8
I'll admit no matter what camera I use, it is very challenging to focus through two window panes plus a sheet of weatherized plastic over the outside storm window on the south side of our house where we have the bigger feeder. Truthfully, my simple old NikonD 40X so far works better that way for me on the manual setting with the telephoto lens, to focus through that much glass and plastic than my complex new Nikon D 7000. Until we take the plastic off the window this spring, I am going to use my old camera this winter (which is lighter weight) for shooting macro shots on birds such as this cardinal picture I shot today.. I prefer using the new camera for other types of shots... Just wanted to touch base, in case you are wondering why I sometimes revert back to my old NikonD 40X:) Whichever camera works the best for whatever situation is the one I use.. After all is said and done, I need to study my new book that I got for a Christmas present on "Mastering the Nikon D7000."

Handsome Mr. Cardinal! Looks like he is bowing to you or peering into the window, wondering if you are standing there with your camera! I use my D60 exclusively with a longer focal lens and like it that way. I keep it next to my office window and wait patiently for good shots of birds (about 2 per seaon).`

Thank you all for your comments...Donald, I was sitting at a lower angle when I shot this picture and the cardinal was bending over to look at me.

Your windows and weatherizing plastic just add to the photos. It makes nice textures. The Cardinal seems to be looking for you : )

Wonderful work. Use the tool that can get the job done. It's not the camera, it's the eye and you have a good eye.

A splendid pose he gave you, too! It adds an extra special element to see such interaction in a wonderful capture like this. I can`t get over what remarkable detail and tones you achieved under the circumstances, Andrea.. that`s quite a challenge, especially with bird shots. Just an awesome capture of this most beautiful fellow!

Love the swirls and his pose. Yes, the D7000 is far more complex than the D40X. So many features and heavier, but love it.
-
Andrea Petersen said (12 Jan 2013):
Thank you all for the comments.. Deborah, .I also love the D7000, but I prefer leaving the
telephoto lens on my lighter weight old Nikon D40X for closeup bird pictures rather than to keep interchanging lens. -
