A while ago I noticed that the back-garden is frequently visited by Blue Tits and Great Tits. Before flying to the apple tree, they usually land on the ledge of our 1st floor balcony. I thought it might be worth placing a branch there and see if they would use that instead. This could give me the possibility to experiment with different backgrounds (green tree, fall-colored trees) and light conditions (shadow in the morning, sun around noon) – all depending on the place I put my tripod. So yesterday and today I spent some cold moments waiting behind my camera. Always interesting to see how much difference the back ground makes for the overall image!
