Post Your Best Nature Shots!

piioo;


I agree w/Sinh's critique, but sometimes you just have to take what the subject gives you.....nice capture of an ABE.


Here's a juvie BE I captured returning to my car, after being out all morning looking for BEs....of course the nice light was gone!





BEs are making a come back in my area but are still relatively rare which is a perfect segue into this photo another rare visitor to my area; juvie Snowy Owl





A more recent photo and not so rare but a tough bird to capture unobstructed and relatively close; N. Flicker

Sinh, Bill,


thanks a lot for your comments. I am a newbe in bird photography, but I'm trying. It's not easy to get eye contact, frontal presentation, without dictracting bacground/foreground, and what I think ismost important - without harassing the birds. I just spotted an osprey platform, let's hope I'll get some nice shots.


Sinh -any advice onphotographing ospreys?

Dev:


Very nice! It's also good that you had the presence of mind to get that quick shot.

I've been spending a lot of time in my garden since I bought bird feeders. How I love f/2.8 @ 200mm.
