Garden Birds – Landing Technique

Posted in Birds,Nature and Environment,Photography by AnnMarie @ Mar 13, 2009

To view how some of the garden birds approach landing on a feeder, I photographed them at high shutter speeds. The composite image below shows some of the results:

They each appear to approach at significantly different speeds. The chaffinches certainly seemed easier to catch in frame than the blue tits, who frequently beat my reactions!

Just a brief post for now – its been a busy week

A personal wish

It is my hope that by photographing some of the wonders of nature, others might share in my enjoyment of these precious sights; perhaps also coming to value the natural world enough to save it from destruction by mankind.

Notes
- How to view the videos on my blog ...
  
  I always split the posts with video on my blog, so that the videos don't load inline for those with low bandwidth connections. To view, just click the "Click to continue reading" link at the bottom of the post. You will now see an embedded media player on which you can click the play button when you're ready.
- Just adding 2 new features to my blog - asides posts like this one, not main posts, just a quick comment - and occasional polls in the sidebar. I'll beta these and see how they go.
