Post your best bird shots!

[Rodger]

I know I've posted this somewhere before. This was spring of 2009. view large to see feather detail


Canon AV-1 with either 200 or 400 speed FujiFilm. An FD mount 50mm 1.8 was used. I'm not sure what the aperture or shutter speed was.


I consider myself lucky to snag a shot such as this. haha. Great photos everyone!


Itheone, I specifically like your bluebird in the backyard!

Not exactly up to the standard of the rest of the pictures here, but here is one of my favorites of a heron taking flight.


XSi, EF-S 18-55IS, F-11, 1/250, ISO 200


Any comments/criticism welcome.

Strange... my picture got cut off on the right side. Oh well, I'm new to this. I'm quite inspired by all the other postings --- very nice everyone!

Did you resize it to 800 pixels wide? I believe that is the maximum width that will post.


The part that was shown was nice though [H].

Funny, I was just thinking "nice unusual composition" on the owl pic. Oh, well... [H]

I very well could be horribly mistaken, but I think the width limit is 600px.

Ran across this guy out in the Arizona desert.

It is 800 pixels. The only reason I know is that I received a message on this when I joined this forum (very recently). It says "For display in the forums, size your images to 800px (or less) in width. The limits for uploading files to the site are currently set to 1024k max per image and 5120k max overall". []

Perhaps you could have used a wider aperture so the bird isn't motion-blurred? iso-400 is very usable as well. Bird-in-flight photo's generally require a very fast shutter speed...
