BIF's, birds and a NEX-7 with a 500mm

[Joachim Wulfers]

Hi Danny, the first one is amazing. All the others are great, as usual. Looks like all conditions were right to get such a good view of the wing structure. It's too cold here to even think about birding.

Off to the estuary yesterday ............ because I HAVE to !! ;-) or is it I need to. NEX-7 and Canon FD 500 F/4.5L

The oddest shot I've ever taking by far this one. The human body with a 500mm lens is not supposed to go directly upwards I've decided, not at my age anyway. LOL. Its also a reason why the need to hand hold the 500mm, if this was on a tripod, it would be impossible to get.


Royal Spoonbill's, straight up
White faced Heron just sneaking around

Another Heron flying off and this is what you get for shooting into the wrong side of the sun. Thank goodness for LR.


Well of course, no surprise a Sacred Kingfisher

All the best as always folks and a few from yesterday.

Danny.

Great set but I like these the best. The spoonbills are like jet fighters, the lighting on the Heron is great, and whats not to like about the Kingfisher. Back-lighting birds is highly effective if a PITA.

Thanks for sharing!

.... taking sharp pictures hand held with a long telelens without IS! So do you use your lens with IS or are this just fakes (just kidding, very nice pictures as usual!)

Thanks for showing what is possible...

Ha, thanks. Forgotten how many times I've seen that ;-) so now I just tell them it was with a Canon 1DX and a 500 F/4L and everyone is happy

A huge thanks and appreciated.

Danny.

I absolutely love this shot and don't find it odd at all - the symmetry is great!

Actually, a tilting EVF (like the one you can fit to the NEX 5R) will allow you to take vertical shots without neck strain as it can be angled at 90 degrees... very useful for Monopods (which do allow 90 degree angles with the right head) and tripods (which are more difficult as you say)

I'm a bit sad that Sony haven't included a tilting EVF on the A6000 (like Panny did on the similar shaped GX7)... a tilting EVF and touchscreen for 'touch-to-focus' would have been great finishing touches to that camera!

Do these birds sync the beating of their wings?

Very nice shots, compliments Danny!

You made me think ;-) Sometimes they seem to and other times not. A few example for you











So that a tough one. Sometimes they seem to be, that might just come from the wind drafts they are in, but I'm not really too sure to be honest. Sure is a good question though ;-) Very graceful in flight, but clumsy on the ground.

But looking at those shots, it looks like they just might.

All the best Ernesto and thanks very much, appreciated.

Danny.

If not in sync they seem to be 180 degrees apart... Nice set again, thanks

Do you see this guy in your neck of the woods? It was taken in the Domenican Republic...

I love seeing shots of these. Justin in Florida posts some that are similar. Here we do have a reef Heron, but most of our Heron's are the large white faced Heron. Nothing like the colours and details of these beauties. they are GORGEOUS and a great shot BTW. Very clear and sharp details. Nice work.

We don't have the variety that a lot of you have. Hopefully one day I can get around a few countries and get to see birds we don't have here and its a lot !!

All the best and love that shot. Excellent. ;-)

Danny,
That first shot is award worthy imo. Very nice.

Thans Danny,

if you look for color here, in the west abounds...

One more from the Domenicana... The ugly pink Flamingo... :-D
