I already shot several photos of sparrows, but I thought I upload another one. It’s maybe not the greatest photo, but also not one I would want to delete because the sparrow is still clearly visible. What I just don’t like is that the branches in the photos are a bit distracting from the main subject. But with nature photography you can’t always do it right. Especially with birds it can be a challenge when they are up in the trees or in a bush, but I still like to try to get a good shot. That is also the fun part of photography, it’s you and the camera trying to capture the moment, even if it’s a challenge if there is something between you and your lens and the subject. You can find more bird photos on my blog.
Shooting birds is an art form and not an easy one. I think it’s easier if you use a camera that has a big format so you can carve the picture out of a larger shot. Otherwise, you are at the mercy of light and motion, neither of which are a photographer’s good friend.
I always wondered about this… is the full frame resolution that good that you can basically get close to a APS_C 1.5x crop factor plus cropping in Lightroom, without getting quality issues?
