stickan1 Posted June 27, 2011 Share #8 Â Posted June 27, 2011 A great photograph! Gulls are not the most exciting birds for hard-core birdwatchers, but you can sure get some great images with them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
likalar Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share #9 Â Posted June 27, 2011 Many thanks for your considerate comments. Stephan, to answer your question: "...how you came so close to do this with 35mm (and get the focus so excellent)???"" Â Thanks! First, I feed the birds some chips on a wall. A few gulls quickly become almost friendly. I preset the focus to approx. 4 ft. and held the camera at the end of my outstretched arm. While the birds are feeding, I move in closer. When I get about 4 feet away, they take off, so I shoot. It is mostly luck at this point, so I shoot 25 frames to get a decent one. You can tell I cropped quite a bit too. There is no way to frame correctly while holding the camera so far forward. I think I will make a post of some awful ones, too. I hope this helped explain.

Larry  Larry this reminds me of a good friend who is an MIT grad in physics got his doc from Harvard and when I show him my air plane shots he is always amazed that I have them perfectly center and framed. He hasn't figured out that we end up having to do a lot of cropping.  Best regards, Hank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
