Red-winged Blackbirds And Fall Colors
Some simple shots of a common species and further evidence that followers of Feathered Photography have big hearts.
Canada Goose – A Running Takeoff On Water
A Black-necked Stilt And A Little Weirdness
These aren’t serious images, in fact I’d probably categorize them as novelty photos. But I still find them visually interesting and somehow they seem appropriate for Saturday morning.
American Kestrel In Fog
Images of birds in fog often have a unique mood and “feel”. The tendency of many photographers is to attempt to minimize the effects of the fog during processing but I try to resist that temptation and let the image sink or swim on its true merits.
Fog tends to reduce detail and color saturation and causes the subject to appear slightly overexposed. It also often results in high key backgrounds. Some of those effects can be reduced by increasing contrast/saturation during processing but then you are losing the mood provided by the fog in the first place. All I’ve done with this image is crop and sharpen.
Strong Graphic Lines – A Matter Of Taste
I’ve been a fan of strong graphic lines in my images ever since my friend Richard Ditch introduced me to their potential a few years ago. The source of those lines may be natural or unnatural but since my subjects are mostly birds and many of them perch on fences, my graphic lines are often provided by fence wires. In some ways I’d prefer natural elements in my images but wires can also be compositionally and visually interesting
