I always said to myself that as soon as I´m in Portugal I want to focus on something new. I got plenty of stuff to do plus I got my hobbies like Surfing, Hiking and of course taking photos.
In regards of the Photos I was really focused on Landscapes. That´s why I will try to do some more other motives and since I now have my bigger Lens with me, the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm F4‑5.6 I thought I try Bird Photography. The Lens is one of the cheapest you can find but still makes pretty good photos I think. It also might be not the best for bird photography but it has to do it for now as there is other more important things I need like Surfboards :)
So yesterday I did my first steps. I went out and found some small, cute but very fast birds. I managed to take some shots and for my first steps I was quite satisfied. Hope you like them.
I like this photo best so far, even if I only caught the bird from behind.
I always used the full focal length of 150mm. Any tips or tricks for settings or how I can get closer to the birds are appreciated.
Oh and if anyone knows what birds these are let me know. I guess they´re all the same.
These are great. I love taking pictures of birds, but I want to get a nicer lens for it. I have been looking at the Tamron 150-600mm. I want to get some nice close ups for them.
Wow thank you so much. Feels great to hear that from you. I know, a 600mm or in my case a 300 for MFT would be much better. I think I’m going to invest a bit of money in the coming months.
Hopefully you can get the lens you want.
You know I really like the last picture I mean all of those pictures are amazing but the last picture really caught my attention and from that I can see that you took that picture with a very good lens because the background is completely blood and I am sure you took that picture from a distance because birds that cannot stay on one place for a long time not even for a minute they just fly around and to me e in animals photography but photography is the hardest nice pictures
Thank you. That’s my favourite one as well. Actually the lens was cheap compared to others but it’s still good quality.
True, birds are not easy to take pictures of but there are other animals that are very easy.
agreee
we have many options like cats dogs common animals
Nice shoot
