Bird photography
Wednesday, January 11th, 2006 | Personal
Doing bird photography is not easy, I am afraid. In fact, it is terribly hard as the birds are typically pretty small and not very interested in having their photo taken. Rather, they are usually fairly busy panicking away from where I am. So, typically I have to ensure a telephoto shot and pray that everything magically works out.
Of course, having to use telephoto isn’t usually enough. I typically have to take the shot from some improbable location, sitting in some odd pose so as not to scare the bird. But having done all that, I managed to capture the great tit (which is in reality rather small) at 12x zoom. Through branches. Through a window. Against the light. All in all I think it went pretty well, if only it had turned a little more sideways. Oh well.
