An Osprey Flying with a Fish

Osprey flying with a fish.
This is the same picture of the osprey that I published yesterday but tightly cropped. I’ve been learning about wildlife cropping from Matt Kloskowski’s Wildlife Editing Secrets course. He’s recommending that we consider the environment and the action of the wildlife when cropping. The crop would be based on what the photographer thought was most important.

The AErODYNAMICS of an Osprey

bird flying
Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) are a very aerodynamic bird that can fly at speeds of 80 mph/ 128 kmh and glide with minimal flapping of wings. As this one approaches its nest, it must slow down.This is the 1st in a 4 part series. I took this photo at Lake Sonoma, Sonoma County, CA.

Emu Bird
I believe that this is an Emu. Taken at the Australian section of the Living Desert Zoo and Garden, Palm Desert California.

House Finch

I’ve set up my camera to capture birds as they come to eat. I’m using a cover over my lens to block out any reflection from the window. The lens is about 5 inches from the bird. This creates some depth of field problems.
