This is my baby Rhode Island Red chick Cinder.

I took the shot with my Nikon D50 and a Quataray 28-80 lens.
The focal length was 38mm
Shutter speed: 1/20
F-stop 5.0
No flash
I tried many different combos but I just liked this one best.
It was taken in a wooden crate turned on it's side with a dome light held on the side by my husband. The camera was on a tripod. Unfortunately the auto focus focused on his wing and not his head so it's a little fuzzy. It was my first day using this lens and wonder if maybe it would have been sharper with my 18-55 lens.
I was trying for a dramatic color shot with the lighting from the side but there was too much ambient light so I thought it looked better in black and white.
