Eagle behind bars

Along the lines of yesterday’s post: what about the times that you can’t quite get the bars to blur out?  The only answer is to use them in the composition.  Take the photo to the right: I could easily use this to make a point (the U.S. national emblem behind bars?  Ooooooh, low-hanging fruit!).

The technique here is no different than the last two days: getting close to the bars, using a long zoom, using as small an f/stop as you can, and hoping for the best.

The cage for these birds is… well, far too small in my uneducated opionion.  There certainly wasn’t enough room to blur out the bars.
