Desert Sounds

Every now and then I take a photograph that I don't expect to amount to too much but I was pleasantly surprised by this shot. This Curved-billed Thrasher was singing it's heart out which is what attracted my attention in the first place. It's simple and has nice muted color which is why I like it.

I'v been shooting with my old Canon xti while I wait for my rental lenses to arrive from BorrowLenses. It's much slower especially in the area of focusing and tracking a moving subject is much harder due to the auto focus. Not the results I've gotten used to but I have to admit it's still fun to shoot with this "old" technology.
