duane_mills Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 If there's on thing that many of like to shoot on the Pentax forum it's birds? Here are a few I shot this week with the K100D Super and DA 50-200. What did you shoot? Please post a few. Cheers.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewg_ny Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Nice, 'Duckling' is my favorite of the batch. I will be disappointed if Javier didn't shoot any ducks this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shots worth sharing Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Actually, I seem to be taking a break from birds (my shooting, as you may have noticed, is characterized by sequential obsessions) but got this a couple of weeks ago. That duck sure gets around! ;~)<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garry_young1 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Nice ducks! I am ashamed/proud to say that I have yet to shoot a duck! But I did shoot a dove in Taipei the other day, and an emu in Taipei zoo, and an egret I think? Here's the dove: ISO 800, DA 50-200mm, f8, 1/500 sec.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garry_young1 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Here's the emu: ISO 800, DA 50-200 mm, f8, 1/30 sec. Steadied myself against a post.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garry_young1 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 And now the egret: ISO 800, DA 50-200mm, f5.6, 1/40 sec. Steadied against a log.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garry_young1 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Is the dove a pigeon? Is the egret a heron? I know the difference between a Chinese girl and a Japanese girl, but feathered birds confuse me! At least I know the Emu is an Emu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
personalphotos Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Nothing brand new but all from this year, late spring and summer. Garry, couldn't you get that Emu to comb it's head? Love the chick shots Duane especially the first one.

jgredline Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Nearby where I live, these birds are literally running loose in the streets. They are actually in peoples yards and so forth. I really should have more pictures of these guys, but I don't... <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/'><img src='http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/7433/imgp4133bf8.jpg' border='0'/></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorus Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Not much into shooting birds, usually. But I did have a very enjoyable fling with the seagulls last month. <br> <br> <img src="http://album.zoom.nl/public_images/17779/CM7wlP.jpg"> <br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagar Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Nice collection everyone.. seems to me it's mostly the guys that seem to be interested in shooting the birds.. O Shiva .. great light on that shot.. and Garry.. that emu looks mighty disgruntled if you ask my opinion. Great shot :-) I managed to get a few at the Baltimore zoo on Sunday..

personalphotos Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Javier, You have peacocks around wild? You must get out there with some of that wonderful glass you have. I really like the second Pelican shot. Haig, great shot of the penguin. Very funny with the last shot. Very nice capture Robert. These guys are tough to get and take off before you even see them most of the time.O Shiva, that show is just surreal. Love the PP work. Is it one image or 2? Funny you guys should like the sparrow. It was taken with FA*300 on a cold day in spring. I was told they puff up for 2 reasons. To look bigger and tougher and to stay warm. This one was taken about 3 weeks later and he's singing his heart out. Again FA*300 <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/'><img src='http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/3079/potw73ym4.jpg' border='0'/></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgredline Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Peter, Over in Arcadia, there is the arboretum where there are wild birds and plants and it is a gorgeous place. well the Peacocks simply fly over the fence (i have been told as I did not think they flew) and have simply taken up residence in the neighborhood...I Live 5 miles from there and have seen the peacocks as close as two miles away. People love them things running around making a ruckus... As for the Sparrow, while we are all used to seen them and we are used to seeing endless number of photos of them, your image is well composed and shows the beloved Sparrow in a different light...It is a great bird shot.

daniel_tong1 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 A low angle shot of a curous duck from A*300mmF4 . It should be asking "what the hell he is doing there?" <br> <img src="http://www.pbase.com/danieltong/image/101937041/original.jpg"><br><br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Where I come from this phrase "shooting birds" has a slightly different meaning, as suggested by this detail from a sculpture in the St. Louis Art Museum.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
