Downy woodpecker .... and software plug

Posted By Robert Watters

It could be a Hairy.
The bill looks like it could be a Hairy but the bird size looks like a downey. Tough to say, nice shot BTW.

FOV in image

Posted By Robert Watters

Well, at F10 should have a FOV of 38.7' x 25.8'.
At F6.3 you should have 60.4' x 40.3'. This was calculated with "The Sky" field of view calculator. Vignetting might still be noticable @ F6.3 but it will be much less when compared to 35mm film.
So, your FOV gets just shy of twice as big and you benifit from shorter exposure times.

Very nice Tyler.
The lighting effect from the flash gives it a different but cool look.
