In the garden with my camera today.
To get this picture I set my camera (Nikon D5300) on a tripod with a 105 mm macro lens about 20 inches from the feeder. The exposure settings were 1/3200, f 4.0, iso 400, no flash (it was late afternoon and the sun was shining at an angle on the feeder). Then I cheated.
I could've waited patiently for the bird to show up, but I wanted to have coffee. So I attached my gadget for shooting time-lapse photography to the camera and set it to take pictures every 3 seconds. About 500 pictures later I got this one.
