American Goldfinch. Higbee Beach, Cape May NJ

It was a great few days for bird photography in Cape May last weekend. I did not get out to Higbee Beach until Sunday evening after we had closed the show and packed up the booth. (I was working the Cape May Autumn Bird Festival for ZEISS.) The late day light warmed everything, including this American Goldfinch busy feeding in the overgrown meadows at Higbee.

Sony HX400V at 1200mm equivalent field of view. Shutter preferred. 1/500th @ ISO 640 @ f6.3. Processed and cropped slightly in Lightroom on my Lenovo MIIX tablet. (The Surface Pro fell off the podium while I was doing a program in Cape May and smashed the screen 🙁  The Lenovo is an emergency substitute.)
