Wispy Willet (and the effects of bokeh on an image)
The background bokeh of an image can have a huge impact on the overall aesthetic quality of an image.
Sage Thrashers In A Springtime Frenzy
It seems that one species or another usually predominates on my trips to Antelope Island. Four days ago it was Sage Thrashers demonstrating springtime behaviors.
Sage Thrasher In A Dramatic Flight Turn
The Balancing Act of Shutter Speed, ISO and Wing Motion-blur
Once again, a little photo-geekiness from me this morning. I know that some regular readers of Feathered Photography (especially those who are photographers themselves) sometimes wonder why I tend to use such fast shutter speeds so I thought I’d attempt an explanation.
Meadowlark Take-off (and some of the challenges facing the photographer for shots like this)
Western Meadowlarks are now singing by the gazillion from their elevated perches on Antelope Island so I’m getting some opportunities for take-off shots.
Magpie – Anticipating Take-off Direction And Getting Lucky
Typically this is a shot I would have missed because I’d have anticipated the wrong direction for take-off.
Burrowing Owl On Rabbitbrush
Magpie Colors And Photographic Goals
I find it helpful to set photographic goals even though some of them may never be attained and only frustration results.
Short-eared Owl In Flight With Prey (and the perception of baiting)
An Entire Magpie Landing Sequence At 10 Frames Per Second
Photographing a bird as it lands is much more difficult than when it is taking off.
Rough-legged Hawk Signaling Impending Take-off
Knowing behaviors of your subject can be a great help in anticipating raptor take-off and bird photographers need all the help we can get.
Magpie Demonstrating An Interesting Bird Photography Phenomenon
Northern Harriers In Flight (and a tribute to an old lens)
Raven – The Last Image I’ll Take Using My 100-400mm Lens
Ravens are common in my area but I rarely get interesting quality images of them for a variety of reasons. For starters their deep black plumage makes them very difficult to photograph well. And around here they also tend to be shy and devilishly uncooperative.
