I rarely post photos of the same species two days in a row but yesterday I spent more time with magpies and I like these two images well enough to make an exception. More than well enough, actually.
A somewhat startling example of a problem many bird photographers, including yours truly, like to bitch about – the daunting challenge of exposing black and white birds properly.
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.).
