Bird Favourites

These photos are my few selected favourite bird photos. I have tried to be very selective and that has been a very tough job for me, but if you enjoy this gallery just a fraction of my own enjoyment, then my goal is fulfilled. Feel free to leave a comment - good or bad.

I will keep updating this gallery on a running basis.

Ole, You are not only very talented but have the patience, the quick eye and hand to capture these birds in good lighting at the right moment. Congratulations, I really enjoyed your little bird pictures, I could not pick one favorite, they are all very nice. Julius Kovatch

Hi Ole, I read the thread about exposure difficulties when shooting birds while passing from high lights to shadows (on DPReview) and the description of your technique. You were simple and very clear in your explanation and it was clearly confirmed by having a look to your gallery !!! Wonderful, photographs of very high quality... I only can say "congratulations", it's a real pleasure for the eyes to watche theses !! Pol pfg@geosolve.be http://www.geosolve.be
