#avian photographyDepth of field for sharp focus depends on several factors, including the focal length of the lens and the selected aperture. As you increase your aperture number (go from a small number/wide open aperture to a higher number/small aperture opening) your depth of field for a given situation will…Read More

Hadeda chicks
This Hadeda family calls our garden home. They love to sit on the garden wall in the late afternoon to preen. They do an amazing job to control the insect population as is evident from the mud on their beaks. Some people harbour ill feeling towards these birds because of their load call. I find them fascinating and they are quite…Read More

Well spotted girl👏👏👏 A very shy bird and always hiding. Everything ells doesn’t matter. It’s sharp, well exposed and you got the shot!!

Thank you, Bruna! These birds are indeed very shy. A day earlier, I tried to get a decent shot of a male Cardinal Woodpecker. He did his utmost to put as much vegetation between us – quite successfully I might add. I have attached my best attempt to capture him.
The best way to find them is to listen for their signature tapping sound as they…Read More

Thanks for sharing Renate👍 Your image is sharp where it matters most and the exposure is good. A suggestion; to place the spotlight on the bird, darken the highlights on the right, or maybe crop tighter for more impact👍 Keep up the good work 🌸

Renate, your story is inspiring, and your work is outstanding. For someone who enjoys nature but never intended to pursue wildlife photography, your achievement is remarkable. I am very proud of you.

What can I say? This image is beautifully exposed, with perfect light in the subject’s eye. It’s clean and well presented, featuring a gorgeous natural background that separates the subject seamlessly. The photo is sharp, with excellent balance in the frame. There’s a strong focal point that adds tremendous impact, making your image both unique…Read More

This was really a question of being in the right place at the right time! I was standing in my living room when I first heard and then saw rustling leaves of a nearby shrub. The next moment I saw the Kingfisher flying off. Fortunately it landed nearby and started ‘tenderizing’ its meal. Thank you for you kind words, Bruna.

Photographing wildlife is much more than just capturing the subject, no matter how spectacular it may be. What follows is a reflection on how a single quote from a master photographer, along with studying his work, shaped approaches to photography and to nature.

Thanks for sharing Renate👍 Totally agree with you. Your shot is well exposed and sharp. Just a pity the one that’s not really part of the story towards the right front is a bit distracting. But that’s nature for you🤩
