Nice Redwing Monte... I am sure the water is plenty cold, watch yourself my friend.
Excellent shot!
Monte I have been trying to photograph redwings, I just cant seem to capture the detail in the blacks... which you have done expertly.
Excellent shot though I do like the coffee. hehe
Well done, Monte. We are having a strange season, while the temp is climbing the birds are late to leave and late to come in....we may both be waiting that extra month.
You need 'good light' to get it looking like this James, so maybe you've been unlucky with the light to date, I'm sure your time will come.
Great shot Monte, we don't get them here
I see, reading below James's post and with the second example, you came to the same conclusion on light
We have other black coloured birds - and the problems photographing them are universal.
Cheers,
Beautiful shot as usual, Monte. And thanks for posting the other so we know you are a mere mortal. Sometimes I can't believe the number of shots I throw out compared to the few that I feel show an improvement in my skill level.
I really like the position of the bird perched on the cattail too. It makes a nice composition.
Well done monte. i like the coffee as well.
Nice job. That's a classic with him hanging on the catail.
