Oh! Those Difficult Birds

Post by PeggyC »

In Sam's posts, the difficulty in photographing birds and getting a great picture was brought up. Case in point:

:o I got them in half the frame. Timing was not too great as you can see. :roll:

I can't even tell you what I was thinking when I pressed shutter on this one... :oops: but okay, think Bev Doolittle... :wink: how many geese can you count in the trees? :hmm:

You may not have gotten the original composition that you had planned, but both pics are still fantastic! I think they are both great pics. I love the blueness of the sky in the first one and the second one reminds me of those "hidden pictures" games where you have to find things. :lol: And I think I'm going to have to go look at the second one again, because I only see 4 geese....I think. :???:

Well, I 'think' I counted 9, twice, so I'm sticking with that! :)

As for the first one, you were pretty quick to get those! :) Why not just crop the pai that are completly in the pic and leave the other 2 out :) Enlarge it and pretend that WAS your intent! LOL

How's this? Well, a little more pixels perhaps would help :) Perhaps from the original it would be better huh?
