Tufted Titmouse

[Hack]

It was overcast and I had the ISO cranked up. I snapped this Tufted Titmouse just before it flew to a feeder.

Here it is again after I ran it through a noise reduction program.

Is this a big crop? I realize ISO 1600 is noisy, but I would think your 40D should be able to handle it better than this.

Nice capture, regardless!

Yep, I knew it was going to be grainy. I had the ISO cranked way up to make up for the heavy overcast sky. I'm looking forward to a sunny day. I almost went to 3200.
