I spent many hours today trying to get a picture of a bird in the Rhododendron outside my living room window. I was completely unsuccessful. It was disappointing.
The plant was in full bloom and would have looked great with a visitor. I had set up a false backdrop and some flash units on stands. I waited and waited and no one showed up. Eventually it started to rain and I had to bring in my gear.
About a month ago I snapped a shot or two of a White Crowned Sparrow that was frequenting that same Rhododendron albeit not in bloom. I present it here in place of the one that I wish I got today.
sure takes some patience, eh. I bet if you had had a D3X a bird would have shown up. That's how it works, isn't it?
