    Most taken through my back window. (they fly away the second you open the window....)

    1. The Black Crow. I added the noise, like the effect

    5. Food fight. I could have edited out the bird feeder but I left it in so you can see what they're fighting over.

    Ah yes, feathered friends :)

    Nice shots, I particularly like the tit (blue tit?) in the 3rd shot, that's a really nice photograph, IMO.

    I quite like the first one, but I think positioning the rook (not a crow :) ) a bit to either side, to not have him sit slam bang in the middle of the frame, would have made for a nicer composition.

    No. 4 is lovely, too, I like the composition and the trees hanging in at the top of the shot.

    3 is great. Better than the rest.

    I love the guy in the second one, what a cool dude :D

    what lens are you using for those pics?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,191 ✭✭✭dinneenp


    My Pentax 18-250mm lens. At longest focal length for most of them and cropped a bit. The feeding ones and the 'blue tit' are shot through my kitchen window, they were quiet close, just on hand rail of my back decking.

    Are you sure they're birds? They don't look like they're falling out of the sky, dead. =O

    Some of them are downright pretty and lifelike, even! ;)

    # 3 is my fav. Excellent. # 2 with a little less handrail. All nice shots. Well done.

    I like 4 the best - did you crop afterwards or is that the original framing? Faster shutter speed might (I stress might) have made the 5th a little better, but you might lose the drama of the wingflapping. Nice close-in pics though!

    Nice set.

    In terms of "pure" wildlife, I like #3 the best. A good close up, with great DOF.

    For the cute factor you can't beat #2, spot on.

    #5 is a great action shot, it would have been nice to see both birds faces, but its not like you can go out and ask them to turn to the side :D

    #1 and #4 are my favourite though. Central cropping can be "iffy" at times, but with #1 I think it really works. And I really like #4. The angle of the birds, the empty sky beneath, the trees on top.
