Hard REALITY of BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY // Birds of prey in snow

  • I realized that I sometime can stress to get new bird species to photograph. But that is not the way I want to have a great time in nature.
    In this episode, we soar alongside nature's finest hunters, showcasing their awe-inspiring beauty and untamed elegance. From the goshaw to the rough-legged buzzard, I capture the essence of these magnificent creatures and delve into the challenges of photographing them in the winter scenery.
    I also found a dipper in a local river. Where I worked with capturing this bird with slow shutterspeed to get a different type of image.

      Ingenting! Lager meg middag osv i mitt Selby 300. Har funnet ut at det beste er å ha på radioen og sitte fullt synlig i døra uten kamuflasje. De kommer alltid...

      finding new places to explore, I have been doing it since I was 10 and have been to every state park within 6 hours of me. I need to get out west more and explore those parks for new opportunities.

    The bird's breath looks fantastic!
    I photographed a sparrowhawk at a nature reserve near Bergen. The first time I saw, it, I was just walking when it landed on a rock about 20 meters from me. A few days ago I was walking in the same area when I stumbled upon it. It was just sitting on a rock while I was 10-15 meters away. I was taking pictures and moving and speaking. That bird just didn't care about my presence. It was feathering and keeping an eye on the skylarks. It's amazing to be so close!

Do you utilize any of the other focus modes and if so for what type of scenarios? I have been using all area and find it jumps to the background often. Thanks for great content like always!
