Finch Fight.  While watching my finches do their usual gregarious activity on my finch feeder I had an inspiration to grab my camera and just start shooting at a very high shutter speed to see what would turn out.  As it turns out - a lot!  It was very bright outside and this lens is extremely fast, so I was able to shoot at 1/2000.

"Drop that seed!"  ISO 800, F/2.8, 1/2000sec
