Photographing through glass

I wanted to see how much shooting through glass reduces the quality of an image, so I can take photos from inside the house if special birds visit the feeder or shrubs and I don't want to scare them away by opening the door. The images aren't too bad. The lens was not up against the glass - it was about 1 metre away.

Good results.
Just remember you cannot boost the light with a flash (if that were needed) without taking the shot at an angle - too much reflection.
But those shots were fine.

Nothing wrong with these Birdgirl. I often do the same but I try to hold the camera close to the window (without touching it). This helps to eliminate any reflections.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I had to stand back because I had the teleconversion lens on. I took them at an angle.
ps the glass wasn't too bad - it had had its yearly clean recently!
