About a week or so ago I renewed my membership and spent a couple of enjoyable hours at Bird Kingdom. This short article features a small selection of photographs of captive birds in dramatic light. All were shot hand-held in available light at Bird Kingdom. Continue reading Captive Birds in Dramatic Light

After an early arrival of winter in Southern Ontario I thought I’d escape it for a few hours by taking David (my Nikon 1 V2 with CX 70-300 mm VR) and Goliath (my D800 with Tamron 150-600 mm VC) to Bird Kingdom in Niagara Falls, Canada.
