Little Bit of Attitiude
Uploaded: May 18, 2004 04:39:49
I spotted this little baby robin standing on the bottom slat of a fence at the Ky Horse Park. (may be the same little guy I photographed in the nest!) He just stood there with this determined stance while I set up my tripod and metered the light and took several shots at Macro setting! He didn't seem to care how close I got to him and he was still standing there when I finally left. Ready to take on the big world! ( 300 mm zoom lens, macro setting, f5.6 @ 1/250, 400 speed film).

Great shot, Marie! Beautiful detail in the feathers and feet, and he's staring right at you! #546847Marie Fields May 18, 2004
Thanks so much, Wally, Barbara, and Colette!!!Wally, I was Very Close! My macro setting lets me focus at about 20 inches or so. And I actually stepped a little closer when I was closing up the tripod and he just stood his ground! He watched me very closely but didn't budge.
Thanks again,
