A blue bird, a photo from Minas Gerais, Southeast

Photographer's Note

That's another attempt to produce a picture of a bird, as I tried in my last post. At least this guy became still until I shot. I know it's not so good, but as I said in that previous post note, I understand how difficult it is to make a clear, sharp and close picture of a bird...

Unlike my other shot, this bird became in the shadow all the time, and as f5.6 is my widest aperture at 300mm, I had to use 1/125,ISO 800, with camera in hand. In fact I'm glad for not been a shaked picture. But colors surely could be better than this I'm afraid. Thanks to raw mode, I could manage to bring something from the shadow...

A composiзгo ficou bem interessante! Й uma cena com iluminaзхes bem diferentes, mas vocк conseguiu pegar muito bem com ISO 800, nгo deixando estourar a parte mais clara. Muito boa!

Hi Augusto,

Nice composition. Good colours and PoV. The blue bird is very interesting. Never seen something similar before.
I think you did a good job with this picture given the lighting conditions you encountered. Nice job :-)

Cheers,

Roberto
