Got this Full Frame capture of a Grassbird last Thursday. It was so close it won't fit the frame horizontally. Fortunately, I was able to manage a few vertical shots before it flew away. Striated Grassbird (Megalurus palustris), Candaba Wetlands, Jan 7, 2101 50D + EF500, f6.3, 1/1000, ISO 400, Manual Exposure, Handheld  Head Shot Portrait |

Another scalp to add to your collection. It certainly looks close enough for you to touch the bird. Well done Rey. Mabuhay.

Thanks a lot folks. @jp I actually used cooling filters in PS for this to soften the warm light because I felt the light was too warm and the birds colors became too "orangy". @renoir I really can't tell the distance but when I tried framing the bird horizontally and it won't fit, I knew then it was really close, must be, just beyond the MFD of the lens.  |

The high bar in wild bird photography is to get close to the subject such that it can fill the frame and the composition is optimal without a single pixel being wasted. You certainly cleared this bar with such a fine shot, Rey.... brilliant!

Thanks a lot Mastah Romy, wish it will become a lot easier to create such images, find it really difficult.  Thank you Edu, it was one of those 'tsamba shots" for me. |
