I have been working on the new window feeder with the camera. I find the trick here is a good tripod and a remote control on the camera. A circular polarized filter helps to cut down the window glare. One can get some real dynamic shots with lots of practice. Hope you enjoy. C and C is always welcomed.

1. I shot this one then cropped in closer for #2.

3. The Cardinal not a common bird on a window feeder much more nervous, cautious.

    Wow, I would not have guessed these were taken through a window. You windows must be a darn sight cleaner than mine! Best, Pam

    Through the Looking glass
    Yep, shot through the picture windows in the dining room. Had to clean the glass first and the filter helps with the reflection and/or glare.

    Nice shots Dan, We have been at -40 for a week so I too was doing the window shots but my windows are from 1937 so I have to angle the lens to get a clear shot but it is fun and great practice.
