| | | Photographing through Glass
Late evening last night and someone who hasn't visited for quite a few weeks turns up at home! Thankfully I'd just got back from photographing a steam loco on a special train and had my Nikon D80 with 70-300mm lens in the kitchen. Not a lens I use for birds now, the f4 300mm with/without the TC-14EII being much better.
So at 400 ISO, f5.6, 1/125 sec and 300mm, (VR switched on), I pointed and clicked through the shut kitchen window. If I'd opened it he'd have been gone. It's quite heavily cropped.
I'll only keep the shots until I get him again in better light with the window open and with my birding lens. But I think under the circumstances they are reasonable. Especially for a dull and gloomy evening.
Any one else got shots in similar circumstances? i.e through a glass window.  
PS. I'll be keeping that pane of glass clean both sides from now onwards! LOL!

the only time i seem to be shooting through glass/acrylic is trying to get images of aquatic organisms in tanks.
then its a case of hoping the back lighting, greasy finger/face prints, scratches, algae and so on getting in the way

Hi Mr Yeti 
I like the photo with the side on view out of the two but they are both good considering you say it was gloomy conditions.
I've only managed one good shot through glass but I had good light to shot with, 
Taken in my mums garden last year. I was trying to get a picture of the snow and this damn sparrowhawk got in the way 
Cheers David |

Nice Sparrowhawk photo. Look like he's eaten your snowman!
I've now cleaned the relevant glass and have taken some more test photos. I can now shoot through those panes and get a reasonable result when I daren't risk opening the window.
Just want the Woodpecker to come back in better light now: it was awful last night.
Cheers,
Bryan

Through the kitchen window last week. I only have a Canon Powershot A650, so I was quite pleased with the result.  |

I have taken several shots through the double glazed bedroom window when it was the only alternative. Images included a fox, sparrow hawks, pheasants and tree sparrows that were in the garden.
All are included on my website.
