Description Lover,
there will be another one
Who'll hover
over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow
see the things
that never come
Today

When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.

Nestled
in your wings my little one
This special
morning brings another sun
Tomorrow
see the things
that never come
Today

When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
-Birds by Neil Young

Propably my best bird shot ever. The bird flew just to this perfect "hole" of the branches AND it was a against-the-light-shot.

1/2000 second
f/5.6
ISO 200
B/W
RAW
sRGB
Location: my backyard
Light conditions: cloudless sky, sunny day
Weather: not windy at all

I cropped the photo a bit and toned it in Lightroom.

Beautiful photo...I think it would be stunning with a little less depth of field, to bring your eye directly in to the bird.

Thanks, and yeah there might be some parts that could be done better, but I was lucky to even get this one shot, and I'm not a huge fan of manipulating photographs.

Wonderful. The parting beak adds tremendous detail to the shot and clarifies the presence of the bird. Wonderful how the small details can make everything come together, eh?

Lovely outlines in the trees - and the bird blends right in quite well and still manages to be noticeable!

You are welcome, you must have a quick trigger finger and a fast shutter.

Yeash? Mutta kiitos ja tiedätkö onko Voigtländer VSL 3-E hyvä kamera, kun ajattelin tällä mun kaikella ylimääräisellä rahalla ostaa sellasen?
