Some Wildlife Photos

BigBassin144 · 11-26-11, 11:38 AM

Went out to a local metro park yesterday to try some bird photography. I was really hoping for a hawk or something cool, but here's what I got.

For those of you who know a lot about photography or have recently gotten into cameras with interchangeable lenses, here's what I was shooting with yesterday:

Canon 300mm f/4.0L USM. Unfortunately, it's not mine. I'm just borrowing it from my uncle, but it sure is a lot of fun to shoot with.

excellent pics anthony.

Great pics. Actually, Cardinals are one of my favorite birds.
As long as they are not playing the Brewers that is.

Very lovely pics man. Wish my hands were that steady. I got to have the camera on a tripod to take a clear pic. Course it don't help that I'm using cheap cameras either.

Well done, Anthony.

Thanks guys!

stick, these were just a handful of good pics out of a large batch of blurry ones. I hate carrying a tripod with my and I've missed countless shots getting one set up. Knowing the settings on your camera help a lot. I was able to set my shutter speed and let the camera take care of the rest. That way, I was more likely to get a sharp image.

Great photos! I too wind up with many throw-aways to get one good shot when shooting wildlife. I've heard arguments for both sides of shooting in Aperture and Shutter priority for wildlife and I've tried both.

I don't know if I could ever get used to those big white lenses though.

Yup, That's what I've learned to do with the point and shoot. make sure I got the setting adjusted and take as many pics of the same thing as I can while I can. lol

When it's sunny I use shutter priority on 1/1000 because I want maximum speed. When cloudy I use aperture priority at the widest aperture to get the fastest shutter speed for the conditions. Either way results in a wide aperture, but that's OK because I usually need only the critter in focus and don't need much depth of field.
