More Birds w/ D300 - wowzer - 05-17-2008 Taken the other day. ![]() ![]() Re: More Birds w/ D300 - Blurb - 05-17-2008 Beautiful! What type of bird are there in the first picture?? Re: More Birds w/ D300 - WHiiP - 05-17-2008 That one in the middle must be going really fast . . . he's leaving some kind of "vapor trail" . . . . Re: More Birds w/ D300 - Wags - 05-17-2008 Bird in the middle of the three flying carrying nesting material? What type of lens are you using? I'm starting to look for a birding lens for my Canon XSi. Re: More Birds w/ D300 - wowzer - 05-17-2008 I shot them with the Bigma (Sigma 50-500). The middle one was carrying some vegetation--perhaps for a next, but equally likely just as a result of it not knowing the water grass was there. The top birds were Ibis's (I think). They have a brilliant feather array, but needs lighting to bring them out. Re: More Birds w/ D300 - vision63 - 05-17-2008 They're some freaky looking birdies. And a bath scene. Great shots man. Re: More Birds w/ D300 - laarree - 05-18-2008 Spot quiz for you, Wowzer: What did lessons did you learn from watching Star Trek that you apply in your bird photography activities??

Well, there's the Prime Directive of non-interference. I try to avoid interfering with the birds in their habitat. I dont want to trouble birds in their course of natural development. In addition, Kirk's well known aphorism of 'protect my ship' is one that I apply to my gear. I'd rather suffer a bruise or scrape than to break my lens/camera. Then of course, there's the usual 'shoot to stun'. Aim straight and fire all phasers (shutters?). I'm sure I can come up with several more examples, but I'm certain that I've scared half the forum already. ;-) Re: More Birds w/ D300 - laarree - 05-20-2008 I could tell you were a Prime-Directive kind of guy-- a good rue to observe with alien species such as birds! ;-) |
