Some of the Great Bird Pics our members have been sharing lately just take my breath away! The vivid colors exhibited by birds around the world are so captivating I had to bring them to your attention. Here are four examples:
Zaratwitstra has been sharing many of the color tanagers he’s been photographing in Panama. Here’s a Crimson-colored Tanager in the rain.
Speaking of the rain, Bajadreamer shot this Emerald Tanager while in Costa Rica. He slowed the camera’s shutter speed down to 1/250th of a second so as the rain drops fall they leave a trail behind. The image wouldn’t have been nearly as effective if he had used a fast shutter speed and the rain just appeared as round drops.
Sandipgolani captured this Fire-tailed Sunbird at high altitude in West Bengal, India. Such vivid colors (helped of course by the pink flower),
Perhaps not a many colors as the previous birds but since the Common Yellowthroat is my “spark” bird photography species I had to include it today. Thanks to docshaf for capturing this great shot.
