Walk Away by mej2011

Walk Away

Shot this on manual mode using the "spot metering" technique that someone suggested. As always, editing consisted of upping the contrast a bit.
Nice shot ( what type of bird is it) are you using auto white blance?

Thanks! This is a Gold Finch found in North America. Yes, I am using auto white balance.

@mej2011 Thanks it is nice to see the different birds from around the world, your Gold Finch is very different from our Goldfinch in the UK and Europe
I expect having had your camera for 3 years you have played around with the white blance presets? I was just wondering if you have tried the Shade or cloudy setting if the weather is dull/cloudy or you a by a building creating shade, to see how the pictures come out?

Nope, haven't played with the white balance settings at all. Honestly, the camera settings menu is a bit odd and I just forget that there is such a function. I'll work on it. Thanks! I did reset the camera today to factory settings and that seems to made a difference as far as focus goes...
