The Fidgety
(11.06.04)

(Day 32) I decided I would use my image today to tell all those PADers, who take images of birds, that I am in awe of your skill. How do you do it, Penny and others? For me birds are fidgety, always picking at something, or turning their backs or worst flying away. Then there are the sneaky ones who pose pretty only to shake their little head at the click of the shutter. So to all you bird photographers, my hat is off to you. This is the best I could do after near 20 snaps and these are tamed ducks for gosh shakes. LOL!

Well, you got three in a row! And one is fidgeting so I would say you're not doing bad at all. :)
Pepe Zyman07-Nov-2004 07:37
That's exactly the way we do it! Take a lot of images and you will come up with one good one!

LOL at your caption. Have you tried drugging them first? Or how about shooting statues of birds? ;-)
This shot is rich in color and texture.

Great shot, I love all of the different colors.

Love the conbination of colors here. It would appear that the three birds are having a conversation.

And yes me too about Penny. She is an excellent bird photographer...and Tine. However you are not so bad yourself Autumn Sky.

Hehehe I know what you mean.... I can't do it either, guess I just don't have the patience (or the 'hardware').

But this is still a great photo. They look so cosy and at ease.

But look what a great image you managed to get after all your efforts!
