This Blue Heron was just taking flight when I took this shot. I had been watching and photographing it for some time while it was hunting in the tall grasses along the shoreline. I crept up as close as I could to it (staying low and behind a tree). It stayed frozen in one position for at least fifteen minutes while it waited for its prey to move... and while I waited while holding the five pound 200-500mm lens mounted on my camera..

Hamilton, NJ - A Pileated Woodpecker couple has been in the backyard several times over the last 2 weeks. Hopefully a nest is close.
I had been photographing this young bull moose (alces alces) while it was feeding in the shallows and I inadvertently knocked an oar against the side of my small fishing boat. The result was instant flight. Photographed at Wolf Lake, Yukon Territory, Canada. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography & Fishing Travels" - www.colin-pacitti.com.
This is a female Anna's hummingbird, looking nice and green and maybe even a little plump. I've seen a big increase in hummingbird activity lately. I got chewed out by both males and females today as I checked feeder levels and refilled them. I mean, they got right up in my face, just a few inches from me and chattered at me with aggression. Strongly-worded letter to follow.
This kinda grew from my original idea, which was really corny and I couldn't go through with, into this only slightly less corny image with a different title.
It's lame, I know, but I'm really trying to improve my PS skills, so please bear with me. Thanks.

Bei unserem Hamburgbesuch durften ein paar Treppen nicht fehlen, war ein wenig wie Schatzsuche..... Adressen hatten wir so in etwa, den richtigen Hauseingang zu finden war aber spannend....

A flock of Ross’s geese takes to the air at the end of the day.
As an afternoon of migratory autumn/winter migratory bird photography runs on into sunset and then twilight, it is inevitable that there will eventually be too little light to photograph the way I might during the daytime. But I usually continue until it is virtually dark — to the point that I may need a headlamp to stow my equipment when I finish. During that final low-light period I often end the cycle of increasing ISO and pushing shutter speed, and instead I drop ISO down to the minimum and let the exposure times lengthen, allowing me to work with motion blur from birds in flight.
We had positioned ourselves near a large flock of geese in a pasture, and they were gradually become more restless, beginning to take off in small groups and depart for parts unknown. Groups tend to depart together, and as they do they rise, with little or no warning, en masse and take to the air. It is hard to say what makes a photograph “realistic,” but I often feel that these masses of blurry birds may suggest the quality of these departing flocks at least as truthfully as stop-motion photographs.

A female Mallard drops out of the sky and prepares to land at North Point. That white patch above the bird is a charter fishing boat out on Lake Michigan.
Enjoy!

This year I might drive to different directions to find a good location for bird photography. It is important to have all the equipment before going to shoot. I need to be patient in order to have good bird pictures. Capturing birds in flight is not easy especially with longer lenses, so it needs some practice. Make sure bird in flight should be in focus from the first image. This year I will drive far away and find different birds in flight rather than just the seagulls. I prefer cloudy days because I don’t like harsh light on birds. I always delete blurry images. Zoom in to see the details on the birds’ feathers. Have a wonderful weekend!
