Collective nouns make me smile and a group of finches are called a “Charm”. So here is a charm of finches from my most recent and most excellent photography workshop at Block Creek Natural Area near Fredericksburg, TX. Shooting from a blind makes photographing birds a whole different experience. As one of my clients said, “I found myself discarding images because the eye in one image had a larger gleam than the other image … or the bird looked like it was singing better in one versus the other image. It was a great shoot when you have to make those kinds of decisions.” Amen, David!
If you have a favorite collective noun let me know and I’ll post a gallery of images…
