A Black-capped Chickadee seems to float as it approaches a bird feeder.

How this image was created: My Nikon was on a tripod, focused on the flight path to the bird feeder. I made the flight path more predictable by placing a small branch on a stand, just off camera, left. Some birds will land on this perch, then proceed on my chosen flight path. Thank you very much, my feathered friend.

The camera was set to fire itself continuously, 5 frames per second, until the card was full. With this technique, and a busy bird feeder, something will eventually fly into the frame of focus. This image is almost impossible to make firing the camera yourself. I was nowhere around when this image was made. I was in the studio, multi-tasking.

This is a 5X7 photograph, professionally dry mounted, and matted to fit in a standard 8X10 frame. Note that the cropping of the matted image may vary slightly from original, shown here for a more accurate representation of image quality and color.
