Show your Bird Portraits

Thanks Jack.


Brown-breasted Kingfisher (Halcyon gularis) by alabang, on Flickr

Upon the recommendation of a user I have desaturated my bird as it was generating blown highlights and false colors.

The motion blur of the bird flipping the crustacean was caused by my 1/200 shutter speed. If given a chance to do it again I would increase it to 1/500.

I posted the slightly out of focus image because I felt that the subject matter of the bird eating was stronger and conveyed a compelling story.

I think the action makes it a far better shot than without.

Well done!

I like it, especially the tiny carrot that passes for flavor in the ramen. Spark of color in a nice monochrome image.

Thanks, Nancy. I'm just running around looking like a tourist here in Hawaii right now with the 50mm.
I saw this site and was amazed by some of the news and photos and so now I'm a member :) Anyone know how to change "canonflex" in the member section. I'm new and could not figure it out. lol. Anyway thanks for any comments and suggestion. I'm still learning the photography. It's a challenge! Gene
