LITTLE BIRDIES

[Julian de'Courcy]

At the Lost gardens of Heligan where they have a hide. I am not into bird photography but did enjoy watching birds that are around at the moment. I may well go back at some point and see if I can improve a bit more.

Some crackers there Julian - especially the shots in the trees - it's all in the side-on view and the lovely OOF backdrops

Great shots. These little blighters don't stay still for very long, so, well done. Which lens did you use?

Thanks Chris, I did try to remember composition and framing and all that jazz. It worked to a certain extent.

Thanks Rob, yep the little things hop and skip just as you are about to take the best photo in the world and you have to start again. Used the EF200mm L f2.8, so manual focus into the mix, which was not easy. A lovely lens to use, with stunning optics, in my price range anyway.

What a wonderful set Julian - nicely shot and isolated and with just enough context I think.

 

[Lesley Jones]
