I spot some grouse in the distance, approach slowly, gradually I pull out my camera — slowly, hoping I do not scare them away. Slowly but surely, is the way to go. Fingers crossed they do not scare and fly off. I start photographing from a far, but wish I was closer. Luckily I have some zoom power built into my lens, and 42 megapixels to work with for cropping. This is the best I got, before they decided they’d had enough of me! Thanks for stopping by.

I think you got a better shot in the 3rd and 4th picture, infact the third picture was the best for me, but I think it's better you started shooting earlier since you didn't know if the bird was going to be scared away.
Problem is if you try and get a close shot, you risk losing everything. Something is better than nothing right.
Beauty photo graphs, that 3rd one is pretty cool where it is chillin' in the center of the photo
He was good enough to pose for a bit!
Very nice shots man. The grouse looks cool with its feathers puffed up. Good job getting close without scaring them, you were on stealth mode hahaha
If only I had that function on my camera -- stealth mode would be awesome!
hahaha indeed it would man, looking forward to your next photos, love every single one of em
In the first picture he looks shy, then he starts posing. and in the fourth picture he feels bored with the same old thing, finally the tail wagging technique comes out.
If only I could have gotten a little closer, but he eventually took off..them shy birds..
Wow it's not really common to see it! Here from time to time you can see that served on restaurants in certain locations
Somewhat common here in East Kootenay, British Columbia. Wouldn't be my first choice for menu selections lol.
Nice pictures! They weren't too shy thank goodness! Good thing for them you weren't grouse hunting! lol

Beautiful, this is acutually the first time where l enjoyed the back n white - (im not really a fan of black n white) but today the one where the grouse is in the middle really hit different.
Thank you for sharing, have a great weekend ;)
Thanks -- I see your back in action.
Not really eh(Just the weekends), exams are coming fast, l have settled in, but I'll see if l can find something interesting to blog about.

Great view. Good photography

They did have enough of you before they flew away but you got some great shots here. The zoom power of your camera is super cool. All the beauty still intact.
I was able to fire off a few luckily. Thanks for looking.
