I startled this guy (and he startled me)when I was taking photos of construction at a dam. He flew right over me and I just started snapping. I'm glad I got one shot where his wings weren't cut off. Now I kind of want to go back and get more pictures of herons and cranes. I've always been impressed by them. I'd love to shoot birds more often.

That close up duck is awesome, I just wish we could see his full reflection. Some birds at the Dallas World Aquarium. Does it count if they're not in the wild?  Click here for the full 1612x1640 image.  Click here for the full 1864x1264 image.

KingColliwog posted:The first one is interesting since he looks funny. It's pretty sharp and everything, you did good considering the lighting that probably sucked (noise is a give away) Yeah the light was a battle and shooting through scratched Plexiglas. A couple more came out but those were the ones I liked the most, I guess because of the pretty green. On this shot you can really see the glass:  Click here for the full 743x1112 image. That bird is in the same cage as the first green one. This guy is pretty cool but still lots of noise:  Click here for the full 1000x1504 image.

KingColliwog posted:oh god, you had to shoot through plexiglass too, then you did a better job than I thought. Are they trying to make the place photographer proof? Yeah, I was a little pissed. I was hoping to really get some fun shots of exotic birds. I mean I knew the fish would be tough but I thought they'd have more birds out in the open.

Edit: I googled it and apparently it's spelled francolin. TigerMoJo fucked around with this message at 05:54 on Feb 7, 2010 |
