Alien Allens Pictures

[skyblue]

Nice try AA. I know how frustrating it can be. I'd kill for a nice cardinal shot.

Thanks Guy

This is a nature preserve that has about a 10' wide path cut thru the woods. Some of it is pretty thick too and while I can hear birds I don't typically see them. The Robins stay in the open but the rest are perched in the trees and I have no idea what they are although I can hear various ones. This guy jumped from branch to branch and I could only get on one side of the tree.

They are beautiful birds.

this is exactly why i dont bother with small birds in the summer....big leaves and small birds leave me frustrated

You got to keep trying AA. That's how I get my shots and they are never very easy.

Unfortunately most people don't appreciate that aspect of photography. They just think... well lookie here Martha. That guy just got a shot of an eagle picking up a fish from the sea, how nice, we see it all the time. Martha, why is it he can't get a cardinal picture when it's sitting still? Dunno Bob, maybe he doesn't like 'em as much. Well! What kind of a photographer is he?

i cant even get a decent shot of a buzzard nevermind a bird picking a fish out of water

I agree with you but auto can work just fine. The hardest thing for me is to go walking for a couple of hours and not get a decent shot. All I ever ask for from an outing is one nice shot. If I get it to me it's worth the effort.

i had exactly the same thing yesterday....luckily the one decent shot was a brimstone butterfly....something i've been after for a while

I just got to thinking about what I posted. I get really pissed of by peoples nonchalant attitude towards wildlife shots and all gaga over landscape stuff. Don't get me wrong, I like landscape / scenery stuff but wildlife of any sort usually can't be duplicated. If they only knew how much effort was involved and how lucky someone is to get a shot of some wild creature vs taking a pick of a mountain or stupid creek maybe they would change their minds.

In the end I shoot for me and if someone likes em that's ok. It's also ok if they don't.

i've always said theres luck involved,i mean....obviously you can put yourself in a position and place to get a shot but thats no good if theres nothing near

I remember that picture. At least you gave it a good try. If you get out often enough you'll get the shot.

persistance is the key:nod:

I have no patience. And I am too lazy to study up. So it is on the auto most of the time. I never was a book learner. I need to find a club or somebody with the hobby and go out with that person and take pics and get hands on advice. If I do it a few times I will be fine. Reading in a book and then going out every couple of weeks don't cut it.

You can join my club. I've got a hobby or two that will definitely get you some hands on experience..... and as for pics.... we'll see.

BTW.... Those Cardinal pictures are nice.

There is always something there and your bug shots are a good example of that. I don't have the patience for that. Maybe when I get the dream lens I'll develop it. I would love a Praying Mantis shot. We don't have them in my area but where I'm going in Sept they do. Maybe chance and opportunity will meet up then.

I don't believe in luck. You gotta make it happen. I don't remember who said this but I like it.. " Luck... when chance and opportunity meet. " author unknown
