Its red feathers look so soft and bright in the morning light. I waited patiently and captured the exact moment it opened its wings. The background has yellow flowers and soft green leaves, making the red bird stand out clearly. This moment shows nature's beauty in full motion—free, wild, and peaceful.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <UL> <LI data-start="660" data-end="696"> <P data-start="662" data-end="696"><STRONG data-start="662" data-end="673">Camera:</STRONG> Canon EOS R5 Mark II</P> </LI> <LI data-start="697" data-end="743"> <P data-start="699" data-end="743"><STRONG data-start="699" data-end="708">Lens:</STRONG> Canon RF 200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM</P> </LI> <LI data-start="744" data-end="780"> <P data-start="746" data-end="780"><STRONG data-start="746" data-end="768">Focal Length Used:</STRONG> 400.00 mm</P> </LI> <LI data-start="781" data-end="958"> <P data-start="783" data-end="807"><STRONG data-start="783" data-end="805">Exposure Settings:</STRONG></P> <UL data-start="810" data-end="958"> <LI data-start="810" data-end="843"> <P data-start="812" data-end="843"><STRONG data-start="812" data-end="830">Shutter Speed:</STRONG> 1/2000 sec</P> </LI> <LI data-start="846" data-end="867"> <P data-start="848" data-end="867"><STRONG data-start="848" data-end="861">Aperture:</STRONG> f/8</P> </LI> <LI data-start="870" data-end="888"> <P data-start="872" data-end="888"><STRONG data-start="872" data-end="880">ISO:</STRONG> 10000</P> </LI> <LI data-start="891" data-end="921"> <P data-start="893" data-end="921"><STRONG data-start="893" data-end="902">Mode:</STRONG> Shutter Priority</P> </LI> <LI data-start="924" data-end="958"> <P data-start="926" data-end="958"><STRONG data-start="926" data-end="939">Metering:</STRONG> Pattern Metering</P> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <P><LI-PRODUCT title="RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM" id="rf200800isusm"></LI-PRODUCT>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Sun, 13 Jul 2025 17:11:30 GMT Gautamwin 2025-07-13T17:11:30Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Share-Your-Photos/Take-Off-A-Cardinal-in-Flight/m-p/556948#M8654 <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Gautamwin_0-1752426469757.jpeg" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/68304i2484C5770CD05D54/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="Gautamwin_0-1752426469757.jpeg" alt="Gautamwin_0-1752426469757.jpeg" /></span></P> <P>This photo shows a Northern Cardinal bird flying away from a flower bush.
