p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Photography in Birder's Paradise


I spent 4 days in the Talamanca Range (Savegre River Area) during my most recent travels to Costa Rica. I love to shoot the flora and fauna throughout the country and have traveled there eight times now with a research trip planned for March, 2014.

I am not much of a bird photographer,… maybe it's the saturation of birders or the fact that I tend to miss peak moments more often than not. Nevertheless, Costa Rica's cloud forests are a birder's paradise and, as they say, "When in Rome…

Anyway, these were all shot with my 5D mark iii, 300 f2.8L IS and 2x mark iii. Most of the images were taken at ISO 800 w/ my tripod.

Thanks for looking… cc's are definitely welcome.
regards,
bruce

You did a fine job for a non birder Bruce I would love to see your floral images from the trip too

#1 is a plethora of wonderful color!
#2 is a nice comp
#3 makes good eye contact
#4 is a nice exposure on the darks and good eye and head coloring as well as abundant moisture

Bruce-
I'm neither a birder or a bird photographer- and I guarantee you that I'd be really, really, REALLY happy to have shot such excellent images as these.
Fantastically-colorful birds as well.
A lovely post.

Thanks to everyone who replied…
For those of you who specialize in birds, I admire your patience. While i enjoy the process, I struggle to photograph these subjects in a novel fashion. It's my obsession with presenting birds in a unique way that seems to challenge me so much.

Once again, thanks for the comments.
regards,
bruce

How could you NOT photograph birds while there!

Nice work Bruce, I think you accomplished your desire to come up with some fresh takes on the avian critters
