While I was home today, I noticed a lot of birds landing on the tree beyond by condo balcony. This is an area of photography I really have not
tried, so…. I set my tripod up… and learned just how difficult capturing a bird is!!! My admiration for those of you who capture the most
incredible bird shots – birds with seeds in their mouths, the perfectly posed bird, etc. – has just increased 10-fold!!!

Here is my bird, ignoring me!! ;-)

Another attempt:



other sizes: small medium original auto

You have a keen eye for a good picture, all is well placed and in perfect dof ..

;0))) I know your pain, I've got more bird butts than you can shake a stick at. Very nice detail. -BJ

Keep up the practice and your bird images will be wall hangers...

i thought in the thumb it was a christmas bauble...lovely work, Mindy.

The dof worked beautifully to lose the setting. Love the snow and red berries to make a classic winter scene.

Lee Rudd30-Jan-2007 09:52

Hi Mindy,
With your talent it won't be long before you'll have all of us bird photographers running for the hills :-)

Wonderful clarity! I like the ripple of feathers on the back!

This is a splendid shot. The details in both images are perfect, and the background in the first is outstanding. You'll make a fine bird photographer. Vote

LOL, Mindy! Great detail on the bird backside. ;-)

very nice indeed, Mindy
I had a flock of robins at our house last week too
unusual for January
Maybe we will have a early spring
