Paul Ong Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Bird action Hi, I am not much of a bird photographer, but I am interested in practicing capturing action. Photos below are from a series from the Sepulveda Basin in Los Angeles. The challenges are similar to shooting liver performances, that is not much control. C&C welcome. Thanks.

Lil Judd Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · Bird action Paul, you found gulls at Sepulveda Basin I've not ever seen one there & I go all the time....

PetKal Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · Bird action Do I see that chicken carrying an egg in her beak ? Well, if so, I got a picture of the seagull after he took the egg from the chicken. Dec 04, 2008 at 09:03 PM

Karl Witt Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #10 · Bird action Hi Paul, sounds like you are from an area that has much to offer and almost always good light, that is helpful I think by what I see here you will do fine Just like live performances have an eye for the 'good side of the light' and enjoy the beauty or the action. I rather like your second shot Karl Dec 04, 2008 at 09:13 PM

Paul Ong Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #13 · Bird action Tim, Thanks. Decided to do B&W because there is not much color to the birds in this photo. But, will take another look. tfoltz wrote: Paul, Great shots would love to see the 2nd in color. Thanks Tim Dec 05, 2008 at 12:07 AM

Paul Ong Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #14 · Bird action Lil, I guess it was slow along the coast. The Basin is some distance and a mountain range away from the beach. No idea of how they got there. I am in that area about three times a month, but mainly to jog around the park. Thanks for the comments. I understand that there are some regular shooters at the Basin. So far, met two. Perhaps we will have the opportunity to meet there. Lil Judd wrote: Paul, you found gulls at Sepulveda Basin I've not ever seen one there & I go all the time....

I am surprise by the water splashes, something that I only notice while processing the shot. The bird was traveling very fast given the shape of all three splashes. Dec 05, 2008 at 12:16 AM
