Post your best bird shots!

[Fast Glass]

Here is one I got yesterday, this is probably the best lit bird shot I have to date. It was overcast with the flash set to 1/16 power with the better beamer.

I'm not sure what kind it is, House Wren?


Awesome shots Joel!!! I want AF! The only thing I would do differently is saturate it a little more. But great all the same.



Cheers,

Nice shot of the wren John, great sharpness and beautiful bokeh, head angle could be better. I like it!

House wrens lack that prominent white eyebrow this bird has. Its a Bewick's Wren.





Great photograph though.





Cheers,

John - good to see you're giving that saturation slider a work out again [] That's a great shot mate, well done.


Joel - those shots are wonderful.





Here's one from me - another wren I think.


I know it's often nice to crop out branches etc to get rid of distractions but I think it gives the shot some context in this case so I didn't bother.

Great shot again Joel, I like the composition on this one alot.


Very nice shots Denise! The first one is excelent, subject could be a tich brighter (on my moniter at least). Otherwise very nice.


The Cardinals are great also, I like the pose of the last one but he is looking down. Otherwise the first one is the best. A lower angle would be give it more bokeh and a more pleasing perspective. These could also be brighter but more so than the first, whatever you call it!


Great shots everyone,


John.
