Asymmetry in my images appeals to me, particularly with birds in flight. Yesterday I got two successive photos like that of a Northern Harrier as it quickly changed direction.
Plus my take on the merits of digital frames around our images.
Even slight changes in shooting angle often dramatically effect our final results, positively, negatively or just differently. These two photos are so very different from each other it’s hard to believe it’s the same bird on the same perch.
Plus… Is backyard bird feeding comparable to the unethical and often illegal practice of baiting raptors? Yesterday’s post caused at least some confusion on that subject so I’d like to set the record straight.
Western Kingbirds are noted for their persistent belligerent behavior. This is one of nine different aggressive displays bird behaviorists have identified in the species.
Kingfishers are hard enough to capture while perched but photographing them well in flight increases the degree of difficulty by several orders of magnitude.
Please do not pin my images on Pinterest, Tumblr or any other pinning site or social media or use them for anything else without my express permission (and that includes using them as models for paintings, drawings or tattoos etc.).
