Photographing birds!

in Photography Lovers4 years ago

This was my first bird photography experience!

Finally nice weather is here and its time to test my new cannon 300mm lens!
I went to a local swamp that contains more than 300 bird species.
I did some mistakes of not watching my shutter speed so some pictures aren't as sharp as they should, most of the times I used 1/1000 but if the bird is moving fast 1/2000 would have been better.

Gear used for this blog:
Canon 70D
Canon EF 300mm f/4.0 L is Usm
Teleconverter 1.4x

Ducks lined up nicely here, couldn't get closer for a better angle (they get scared easily and run away)

This picture is a gem! Timing was on point hehe

I was so excited when i took this picture but I made a big mistake of not setting my shutter speed to 1/2000

There were alot of hawks

And of course Swans are friendly enough to let you get close and take some nice pictures (more on my blog)

A bonus Boar for the end of this blog! Didn't want to risk getting closer because there were 5 Boars nearby but it was very exciting!

Nice, I also recently upgraded camera in hopes of getting some bird shots. My ideal will be to get some Owl and Hawk shots, but also just put up a bird feeder for others.

Love the shot of the boar! Must have been exciting! Looking forward to more shots!

Thank you!

That's smart with the bird feeder, yeah I cant wait to try to get some more boar and deer shots!

Hi there neighbour :)
Welcome on Hive. I have seen some nice work from you already. Today's post simply can not be missed. Really good shots of birds which are hard to catch at right moment.

Hope you will enjoy your Hive journey and I suggest you make introduction post of yourself. That would help getting some attention and it is always good to know who is authoring, so we have something to hold on at.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Hey :)

I'm glad you like my pictures!
Thanks for the tip, I'm new around here but this place seems pretty good to share my photos and get some feedback, for sure my next post could be a little introduction, do I post it in some community or just write it on my blog?

Kind regards!
