>Catalogue d'oiseaux ("Catalogue of birds") is a work for piano solo by Olivier Messiaen consisting of thirteen pieces
>It is devoted to birds and dedicated to his second wife Yvonne Loriod (which in French sounds like the oriole bird)
>For these pieces, Messiaen did not want to be limited to the evocation of the bird of which each of it bears the title. Each piece is written in honor of a French province.
>piece 1: The Alpine chough

very good ty

>>4383157
taking photos of hummingbirds with a manual focus setup is difficult, turns out.

>>4385262
the pigeons are much more cooperative subjects, or at least they're bigger, slower, and don't mind sitting still in halfway decent light

>>4385265
I guess I should be glad I got a few decent shots, anyway

>>4385425
Love it

nice focus, I can never get that much clarity. Maybe this one is close, the rest of mine end up not satisfying me in terms of clarity. Maybe because I haven't got a tripod (though when I did have one, I struggled to use it for birds).

i never use a tripod
what SS are you shooting at?
1/250 is very low, only recommended if its too dark for anything higher

>>4382653
great pic

>>4386949
I was using 1/250 to try and reduce blur on motion shots. Those birds were quite skittish. I may also be trying to compensate for my own shakiness.

>>4387277
Yeah for birbs (and many quick moving animals/mammals) you want more like 1/1000th ideally. They twitch fast AF and you'll have a better chance of actually stopping their motion. Yes that means higher ISO. Yes that why birbing gear is typically the most expensive with their fucking huge apertures on 600mm lenses (so they can widen aperture instead of raising ISO).

High ISOs can be NR'd or AI'd, and you can always resize to a smaller res to help hide the noise, but you can't really unfuck motion blur for having too low a SS.
>pic rel is a heavy crop so IQ isn't great, but no motion blur!

if there's adequate lighting you shouldn't go below 1/400 for still, perched birds
for birds jumping around 1/800 to 1/1000+ is what you should be using

id recommend watching some bird photography youtube guides cause using high SS is like the most basic knowledge for shooting them

i need to get out more. anyone got any hot tips for winter in the northeast us? I always have shit luck this season except ducks that never come near the shore

Took this the other day, bunch of these were roosting at a lake. I decided it would be interesting to purposely catch the blurry, out of focus autumn leaves in the foreground to offer a color contrast to the bird. I like the way it turned out.

I'm no birder, but as I was shitting I saw this little fella hanging around on my tree, so I wiped my ass, assembled my camera and caught him.

Actually, I think it might be fun to go birding one day. It's almost winter, trees are empty and the birds that stay for the winter are easier to spot and they hang around closer to humans in hopes to get food. Any tips for beginner?

i took a photo of some road runner ass
on my eos6d ill upload that too later today

where are some places (in the US preferably) where birds flock en masse? I've been to Bosque del Apache a couple of times, in winter thousands of snow geese and sandhill cranes gather there, and at dawn they fly off together in huge groups it's really cool.
bat flights seem like they'd be similarly cool too, haven't seen one though.

actually, I've seen one other big gathering just recently. there must have been at least a thousand pelicans plus some gulls and cormorants just off shore having a feeding frenzy. Really neat how the pelicans dive into the water. This was right outside the monterey bay aquarium and it was my favorite part of the visit, god damn was that place overpriced and overcrowded.
I'd like to see a winter gathering of bald eagles

How to wipe all exif data so it doesn't show up here? I just did it in properties in Windows but it still shows up with some. Also fuck this 900 second bullshit, there's already only about 10 people that post on this board.

>>4390717
Poor bastard was probably blinded for an hour considering that's a night-shot
>>4390824
There are dedicated exif strippers / modifiers you can use. I use exiftool which is GAHNOO, so you may not be able to use it on Windows.

>>4390876
I did use loonix mint years ago but got the shits with it absolutely raping laptop batteries for no good reason. I'm about ready to go back with how fucking AIDS microshart is being at the moment though.

Broken wing from crashing into a tree branch is a death sentence for birds desu

>>4390895
yes, but they will only fly off if you get too close
if you keep your distance they just stay perched and look away
obviously it's unethical but the impact it has is overblown

Interesting, my Acer Swift gets a rough but noticable 20-30% battery uptick versus Win11. I was forced to daily loonix for a few months while my desktop's CPU was warrantied, and honestly, if you're willing to diagnose some random fuckery every now and then and aren't "totally" inept, it's a decent daily driver.
>>4390894
Thank fuck. Still, being semi-blind for 5-20 minutes still sounds bad and I really don't know how to feel about disturbing wildlife just for a snapshit of all things. It's not even about the quality per se, it just seems an unkind thing to do to a bird.

>>4390903
i mean its still just a shitty thing to do to a bird

plus a lot of the people who know good bird hotspots already hate anyone with a camera, stuff like that doesn't exactly help
