Parakeets at Petsmart

Yesterday, I decided to see what the parakeets  were doing at my local Petsmart Store.
Shooting  these birds through glass or plexiglass in florescent  or unknown lighting is not easy.  
Then you have to factor in that the birds are not all in the same plane and you are not going to be able to use an aperture to give a bigger depth of field. . Your iPhone does not allow you to choose a shutter speed.  I liked this shot becaust some birds were eating, 2 were being lovebirds.  I thought the colors were true.  I did not use a tripod.  I basically used the native camera app for my 5s, cropped a little and added some clarity & saturation using a camera app in the iPhone.   .

  1. Correction, I did use Camera Plus app to take the photo. This means I have to elect to add this image to the Camera Roll. Before I did, it had different edit choices in that app, so, I did not use PSE (Photoshop Elements). That is one of my goals, i.e. using in camera apps. I did post to my photography board on Pinterest in addition to FB.. That counts as posting to social media. I have not figured out Instagram yet.
