Cormorant Flyby

Dennis

In this post you can see a photo of a cormorant that flew by when I was walking near the pond in Reinfeld. I am not sure why I shot the photo at 240mm, I could have used the 300mm of my Tamron lens, but I probably had no time to make that decision. Now I had to crop the 240mm to get closer, but I believe the image is still ok. I noticed that cormorants are not the best aviators, it’s funny to watch them flying, their flight looks awkward compared to the other birds. It’s easy to spot … Continue reading Cormorant Flyby

Beautiful Eurasian Blue Tit

Dennis

Here is another bird photo. It’s some weeks ago when I found this Eurasian blue tit on a branch. It was cloudy and quite dark as you can see in the background, and sadly I was still too far away to fill the frame, which means I had to crop and the image quality suffered. There is sadly also chromatic aberration in this photo. Anyway, the scene is good and I like this bird pretty much. I see this one quite often as well, at least here in the nature, not so often in the city. While my Tamron 70-300mm … Continue reading Beautiful Eurasian Blue Tit

Common Blackbird Photograph

Dennis

It seems my common blackbird photos category starts to grow. Common blackbirds are easy to find here in Germany, and that means they are a perfect target to practice bird photography. I shot the photo in this post some weeks ago, the sunlight was not too strong, but there was decent sunlight, and I like days where it’s not too bright and not too dark. The photo was shot with my Tamron 70-300mm lens, but I cropped the image to get a little bit closer to the bird. I tried the rule of thirds composition and flipped the image horizontally, … Continue reading Common Blackbird Photograph

Walking Rook Bird

Dennis

When I go outside for a walk with my camera, I pay a lot of attention to the things around me, and I usually decide if it’s worth to take a picture in a situation or not. But to be honest, sometimes I just take a photo without thinking a lot about it, I talk about random photos that I take spontaneously. This can happen if I am curious how the photo would turn out, if I want to see something up close later on the computer screen, if I am experimenting, or just for the fun to press the … Continue reading Walking Rook Bird

Eurasian Jay In The Forest Near A Pond

Dennis

Walking near the pond in Reinfeld is interesting, I do always find birds there. Today I went out for a walk again, and apart from different birds, I saw the bird you can see in the photo, the bird is called Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius). I saw this bird already a few times there, for example some weeks ago but I didn’t upload the photos yet. I did also record a short video of this bird a few weeks ago, but I was too lazy to upload it to YouTube, but I will do this soon. Talking about the photo … Continue reading Eurasian Jay In The Forest Near A Pond
