Mr. and Mrs

I have a hard time with photographing birds. My settings are always off. Obviously overexposed on this one. Any tricks to capture these beauties?

I like the exposure in this shot. It makes the birds stand out and creates a feeling of lightness.

[JackieR]

@stiggle @bkbinthecity @30pics4jackiesdiamond @gijsje @craftymeg @craftymeg @ninaganci Thanks for your kind comments!

[Tom]

Lovely great capture and edit

[Humphrey Hippo]

They're very sweet. One of the things I love about 365 is seeing little birds I don't recognise.

[PhotoCrazy]

Nice capture! Shoot raw and edit in Photoshop or Lightroom. Helps with the just missed shots.

[sheri]

This is a nice shot. I find birds challenging too, esp the little ones like these that move so quickly from a shadowy place to a bright one.

[Pyrrhula]

Very true. They won `t wait for you and do n`t like you to be in there neighbourhood.
Great captureof those two Fav.

I like the effect of "overexposure". I shoot on manual and in RAW, then I just play with the settings.

It’s tricky to get more than one in the frame in good focus...narrower aperture would help but then you’d need more ISO. I think you did a great job with closest finch and the color of the bark is so gorgeous

[Jane Pittenger]

And you got good catch light in both

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wonderful shot.

[Anne ❀]

great shot, especially catching the eye of both birds, fav

[Margo]

This is such a beautiful capture like a painting

@humphreyhippo these are house Finches

[Corinne]

Jolie prise, avec des couleurs très douces, je ne serai malheureusement d’aucune aide sur le plan technique ( la plupart de mes photos sortent de mon iPhone et je retouche sur snapseeds).

@jgpittenger thanks!

[Corinne C]

@photographycrazy Thanks so much. I am a little intimidated by Photoshop. I admire what people do with such software but I feel I am way to new to photography for it.

[☠northy]

this is lovely! it's so ethereal!

[Carole G]

Thanks for the follow Corinne. I love the pastel colours of this shot, even if it wasn't the result you wanted.

[Corinne C]

@yorkshirekiwi thank you!

[Sharon Lee]

love the colours here, beautiful shot

[Louise & Ken]

I rather like the paler colour palette here!
