Birds of the Bosque

 I'm back in Albuquerque now after several weeks on the east coast. I had a great time visiting family and I took a bunch of pictures, some good and some that would have been spectacular but my camera appears to have a problem. In most cases it usually turns out not to be the camera but the person behind it. I have some problem solving to do to find out what's going on. The pictures came out very grainy when enlarged and I'm extremely disappointed. I may post a few of them anyway just to show you what could have been and the problem I'm having. I'm pretty sure it is related to an iso setting that is not automatically changing as it should. In the meantime enjoy a five star photo from North Carolina again. A female northern cardinal. I was extremely lucky to have great light and the bird perched perfectly looking right at me.
