After some field experience using Pro Capture L with Bird Detection AI Subject Tracking to photograph birds-in-flight, I’ve decided it will be my primary BIF setting. While this technology combination did require some adjustment to my technique, it was worth the effort to make the change.
Our Images Can Tell a Story
Sometimes we can get so caught up in the act of photographing subject birds that we forget that our images can tell a story. This short article features a small selection of photographs that (hopefully) illustrate that images can tell a story… even with common birds like gulls.
Combining Imaging Technologies
This article discusses combining imaging technologies… specifically Pro Capture L with Bird Detection AI Subject Tracking.
Soft Bird Photographs
There are a wide range of factors that can contribute to soft bird photographs. Some are equipment related, while others are associated with technique.
Gull Mid-Air Food Fights
Last week I had the opportunity to photograph some gull mid-air food fights during a visit to LaSalle Park in Burlington. Trying to pan with gulls chasing one another while fighting over food can be a challenging experience. One second they can be close together in mid-air, then a split second later far apart, as they dipsy-doodle while flying.
Photographing a Perched Raptor
This article discusses photographing a perched raptor, outlines various composition considerations, and shares some photographs to illustrate issues. It is important to keep in mind that the subject bird featured in this article did not change its perched position.
Quick Practise Session
After being cooped up for a while I took advantage of a small break in my schedule to fit in a quick practise session photographing birds-in-flight at our local harbour.
Tiny Sensor Butterfly Macro
This article shares a selection of tiny sensor butterfly macro photographs captured handheld with an Olympus TG-5 using its microscopic mode.
Tiny Sensor Flower Macro
This article features an extensive selection of tiny sensor flower macro images, all of which were captured handheld using an Olympus TG-5. These photographs were captured a few years ago during a visit to the Niagara Butterfly Conservatory. It has been over
a year since I’ve visited this particular facility, so I thought it may be interesting to go back in time.
Swans with Bird AI
This article discusses photographing swans with Bird AI and shares a selection of photographs captured handheld at LaSalle Park in Burlington Ontario.
