Masked Tityra
This photograph showcases the Masked Tityra (Tityra semifasciata), taken in San Pablo de Borbur, Boyacá, Colombia. The bird’s striking black mask and bright red eye-ring stand out against its pale body, offering a sharp contrast against the rich greenery of the forest background. I captured this moment with a Canon camera at ISO 800, 1/125 second, and f/16, balancing the low-light conditions while maintaining clarity in the bird's plumage and environment.
From a technical perspective, the lighting was diffused through the forest canopy, creating a soft, natural feel. The decision to shoot at f/16 ensured that the bird’s features were sharp while keeping enough depth of field to subtly reveal the texture of the background foliage. This image emphasizes the importance of precision in bird photography, where timing and technical settings play a crucial role in highlighting the beauty of a species.
