Watching Me Walk By

BOB. I'm always surprised when the scissortail stays still on the wire when I walk by. Most other birds take off when I get within 200 yards! His background is just from shooting into the sun.

I almost hate looking at the popular category- it’s so intimidating. However I’ve only been in 4 days and haven’t looked at a lot of the pictures -however this is one of my faves so far. How did you get the black background? Shooting into the sun? I don’t understand. Anyway it’s amazing!!

[Milanie]

@kaylynn2150 Would you believe a lot of luck?? I have noticed, when I am out quite early and shooting up toward my subject and into the sun that I get a black background. I'm usually using a fairly fast shutter speed, too. Know nothing (should stop right there) about why that happens :)

[CC Folk]

A stunner and congrats on the TT! Love it! :)

[Marloes]

Wonderful! Fav

[Karly]

This is such a beautiful shot - sharp, wonderful composition (love him sitting on the barbed wire) lovely color, light and the background is perfect. So well done!!

[Vesna]

Congratulations on the TT!
