    Re: Post your best bird shots!



    Here is one of mine:


    [img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.38.46/saw_2D00_whet_2D00_alo.jpg[/img]


    It was not taken in the wild, the Saw-Whet had been injured & rehabilitated, but I'm pleased with the shot nevertheless. Best part for me is that the lens here was nothing especially fancy: a Sigma 70-300mm, handheld, no IS or anything. :-)


    I have other shots, if anyone is interested.


    cheers,

    FANTASTIC! I love eagle shots and this one of the best I've seen! The color is great with the contrast between the green and yellow. Thanks for sharing!

    Hi all, great photos so far!


    One Question for Nate: how much of your original photos do you crop? 25%? 10%? 50%? What is the final resolution, normally? thanks.


    Here are a few from this weekend (I believe I have already posted some of them in other threads). I made a songbird set-up using dead branches near my birdfeeder and the results were awesome [][][]


    thanks for viewing


    comments, critique and questions welcome [H]

    Hi Brendan, I usually don't crop my images over 50%.


    I woke up at 3:30am on Friday morning and drove to La Jolla in San Diego Countyto photograph California Brown Pelicans in breeding plumage.The famous La Jolla'sbrown pelicans attract photographers woldwide and while I was there I got to seeArthur Morris in personas he was conducting aworkshop.It looked like this season ends a little early this year, most of the pelicans bright red pouch has begun to fade.


    Canon 40D + 500 f/4L IS, f/4.5, 1/1250, ISO 250, Manual Exposure, handheld, this image is fullframe []. I wish I had used the 400 f/5.6L because with the 40D and 500 I clipped the wing so many times

    Great shot, Nate, and I am so envious that you have the opportunity geographically to be around so many special species.


    As far as using the 400, remember, quality over quantity! This is a great composition, in my opinion, and part of what makes the shot look so good is the resolved detail, which you may have lost a little with having to crop to this size from a 400 image. You may have more throwaways, but the keepers are KEEPERS!
