Buzzard shake down

something different

I know it's not sharpe etc., and it's arse front ………. but what do you think?

I'm very sorry to say that it's just not for me. Perhaps if it had been camera facing then I would like it more. However, I still believe it is more relevant than some of the recent enteries into the Wildlife of the Year competitionthis year, so at least you have that.

but what do you think?

You wasted my time opening this post Bill

Thanks guys - I did post it for a reason - I had just been very critical of a post that Darren had made and I was hoping to get comments of what was wrong with the image - settings, focus, composition etc., etc., but it got me "thinking" as processing is so powerful these days

also maybe showing movement in a bird - fast shutter speed v slower to show different kinds of movement …… good shot - bad shot

unsharpe images - "caricatures" ………. all images don't have to be sharpe or even in focus…… more creativity?

different ways to process

Here's some more in the same vain and a development of my thoughts - what do you think of these?

They may need a little TLC, sorry PP!! …….. but it's the "idea" that I'm exploring!!

the idea could be complete "rubbish" for all I know

suggestions?

I tried a few earlier in the year, but did not get a great response

I quite like Reed Cormorants

I like the idea of this shot!
Ideally frame filled a little more, and from the front is probably going to be more interesting. But overall I like the idea of a shot showing a bit of ruffling/blur

Bill, let me start by saying it doesn't matter a toss what other people think of your shots. If you like them, then that's all that counts.

Your ideas are very sound - there is certainly a niche for this sort of photography. Whether it's to other people's taste is another kettle of fish.

There isn't one of the photos you've posted that I dislike, although I prefer some to others

Have you considered a slow shutter speed with a delayed flash to get a sharp image and yet show movement?

 

[BillN_33]

Thanks guys - negative comments never worry me …… I am used to them …… in fact they do help

Jeff and Vesalius, thanks - I'm trying to explore something new from the usual shots …… difficult trying to be anything like "creative"

Not sure about the flash Jeff - the birds were some distance away

Keep your comments coming!!

No worries Darren - you have to remember that some people don't recognise "art" even when it stirring them in the face!!@!@£$
