I am specifically talking about capturing those fantastically sharp photos of zoomed-in birds (filling most of the image), that appear to be taken in wooded areas.

Assuming each shot took a fair amount of time to compose, and also probable use of a tripod -- how do you know the bird is going be on that specific branch at that time? My experience is that birds don't stay in one spot for more than a few seconds.


Luck, right equipment, patience and practice.

I like 2 and 3 most. Love to hear mourning doves cooing and like the iridescent colors on the grackle.


Thanks for the comments.

"My Gold does not Clink and Glitter, it Gleams in the Sunlight and Neighs in the Night."

Another work in progress and I am trying to decide on tones. Not sure if I want this warm, neutral, or kind of on the cool side. When I do a piece, I try to make it as easy to market as possible. I try to ask myself, "what kind of person would buy this, what about colors, and what kind of building would it go to, for display." I mean, "is the piece suitable for an office building, a store, a ranch house, a den or office in a home in the city, etc.

To sell in my market, I must make the photo, an "artsy piece." It has to say something other than just. "Hi, my name is Harry the Horse," or "Hi, I am an orange tree in a pot." I think with many different types of photos, more is expected by the purchasers. Not sure many people on UHH actively try to sell, but still would like to have comments and feedback.

Maybe they are expecting to have a caffeine party.

Nice shots.

Once you go to Full Frame you will never turn back. The extra real estate and the large frame changes your creative look.
But as the gentlemen said new glass even with FX trades will cost some money.
Folks say your feet are your framing but not so. When your are in a crowded place along an outdoor place you cannot always backup enough. Full framing is a beautiful thing and the negative space becomes part of your art. Also I really like fast prime lens.
If you use quality FX zoom lens you might be alright with
the cropped sensor. Good luck.

I used to shoot DX and eventually sold my D7100 after buying a D800E. The IQ is outstanding and the extra pixels has advantages. Bought a D810 and really like both.

I'm seriously considering a D500 and had preordered. Cancelled the order after the delay was announce and decided I would wait for the reviews.

I won't give up my FX cameras but DX has some advantages that appeal to me. The main one is DOF. A f2.8 lens has all the advantages of f2.8 but gives the DOF of one additional stop at each aperture. Big advantage with shooting a long lens close up. The extra reach is nice if it doesn't result in noise.

Of course with 36mp I can get the extra reach by cropping without the noise.

If the D500 lives up to expectations it has features that may be unrivaled by other Nikons or cameras.

Hope Nikon can deliver as promised and that the reviews bare out the claims.

Joe: Very nice set of images. Our birds make great subjects.


Thanks Dan.

I agree. They are challenging and there is so much variety. I'm addicted.
