A few bird pictures.
I'm not sure whether I'm inspired or intimidated by the wildlife photographs that some of you have on display. But having decided to give bird photography a go here are a few I've taken in the last few days.. They're mainly 100% crops taken with a 350D and 100-400L. And yes, I have a long way to go !

Oh Nugger.. I knew I'd forget something... http://www.evil-photographer.com/Birds/ Tony, Some of your photos aren't there... I suggest you to use underscores (_) instead of spaces in the file names: the %20 used by the web servers to replace the space makes the link quite ugly. Cyrus -- I love to be mailed just by smart people: perl -we 'print "\12\142\145\162\156\141\155\141\100\151". "\164\167\145\142\56\151\164\12\12";' |

Cyrus Sorry Cyrus, Just something I threw together in a hurry.. I left the 'dead' links in as placeholders for future use.. Sheer lazyness. But thank you for the advice.

But having decided to give bird photography a go here are a few I've taken in the last few days.. First lesson: Buzzard: http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/47808461 http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/28019171 Hawk: http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/24561758 http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/61239224 Hawks are cool. Buzzards are ugly. From a distance you can tell a Buzzard (Turkey Vulture) by his wings and his flight. They rock back and forth and are as liable to go right as left. "Rock N Rollers," I call them. A hawk or an eagle will usually soar with little effort in a circular pattern. Second Lesson: Clean the dust off of your sensor. Third Lesson: Get a long lens. You can never have enough telephoto. I'm currently stuck at 400mm f/5.6, but I could do some real damage with the 600 f/4. Fourth Lesson: Keep looking and keep shooting. (This may be the most valuable lesson of all.) |

By the way, those "Buzzards" are Red Kites, and they are a compelling target for photographers due to their fickle nature, i.e. they just never stay still long enough ;-) Love the Sparrow shots mind you, they are very nice indeed.
