Dull light always seems to bring out the best color and contrast photos for me. This little bird helped reinforce it. I’m not known for my ‘little bird’ skills 😝.

He sat down off to my right, gave me a pose or two, and flew off when his job was down. No fuss no muss.


🥰❤️ Love cardinals! They were often around in Ontario and Quebec when I lived there, and their sudden flash of crimson colour was always wonderful to see.

A little overcast and mist helps bring out their colors like you said. I found a couple the other day and with the sun out it was tough shooting in the shade.
I’m guilty of ignoring the smaller birds for those reasons.

There is something about Cardinals that make them look the best in dark, foggy, overcast days – it’s like their superpower ha.
That low light is best for me out in MarshesThe and swamps.
