Feathered Friday: Ugly ducklings (Kyhmyjoutsen)
Hey!
I was at "Pikku-Vesku" today with my gear hunting for bird shots, and I kind of went ballistic with the camera and shot so many photos it's now 2 am in the morning, and I'm still editing them.
I'll share one early:
Mute swan
Cygnus olor
Canon EOS 550D EF 75-300mm III180 mm F7.1 1/400s Dual-ISO 800+1600 Click image to enlarge.
...and then I'll go to bed. I'll post the rest tomorrow.
See ya guys! :)
@traf,
You made a wonderful photography as always! Nice capture and you didn't try blur on that! That's good, with the reflections of the water those ducks look so great!

Cheers~
Thanks! :)
It was the high vantage point that prevented the lens from creating "bokeh" (blur). If I could've shot it from lower, the lens would have naturally created some blur in the background, as the cygnets were quite close to me.
In this case it worked nicely, the surface of water isn't distracting so it generally acts as a good background for photos.
The idea with the blurring is actually to hide distractions behind the object you are shooting. If the background is very busy, you would want to have the blur instead of the actual background. The blur that you create by opening the aperture of the lens is a useful tool in those cases.
They are not ugly!! They are cute!
Gorgeous capture @gamer. Both swans waited to face photography.
These are great! Be sure and use the #featheredfriday tag if you post more so that I don't miss seeing them!
Thanks! I definitely will. :)
