63 : 4 April 2011 - Birds - A Meeting of Minds

***Hans*** · Apr 8 2011, 11:00 AM

Birds, broads... uhm... I think birds as in avians were meant?

***Hans*** · Apr 8 2011, 11:06 AM

This is one of my best loved, most commented on and watched flickr photos:

Pelican close up by Hans van der Boom, on Flickr

The next photo was taken when I was visiting Sea World with Lady Maelin, her hubby and my wife. It is a Black Crowned Night Heron and was prowling the lunch area of the Shipwreck Reef Café where we had lunch.

AnnMarie · Apr 8 2011, 11:19 AM

I know I've posted these before but they are two of my favorite bird shots.

The Great Grey Heron at the pond. We call him BLUE.

The mother Kildeer on her nest.

Audanna · Apr 8 2011, 11:33 AM

These are beautiful Hans! What lovely shots. Me and my family have always been keen bird watchers, our holidays always orientating around various bird and nature reserves across britain.

May I ask what camera and lenses you have to take such brilliant shots?

***Hans*** · Apr 8 2011, 04:32 PM

Audanna, thank you for your kind compliments. I had a Canon 400D and 1000D but recently sold the first and moved up to a 60D. As lenses I use a Canon 17-85, a Canon 70-200 L series with an additional prime 50 mm 1.8 en Canon 100 mm Macro 2.8. These two were taken with the 70-200 L lens, Canon's pro series.

Lady Maelin · Apr 8 2011, 11:52 PM

These are as usual extremely fantstic photos...the first one is incrediblly beautiful.

I remember that bird Hans...he came right up to the table...he ate part of my H U G E cheesburger, and he didn't seem to be afraid of anyone there...

blondmom989 · Apr 12 2011, 11:48 PM

I love the way this duck has one foot tucked up, resting it.

Lady Maelin · Apr 16 2011, 10:38 PM

These are the mated pair of Mourning Doves, that have taken up
residence in our yard...sorry it's not as sharp and clear as most
of the other photos, but it's only taken with my little Kodak Easy Share.

These are a group of very protective Geeese, that I have nicknamed
the *Swan Sisters* as thats what they look like while their swimming around on the local animal
farm's small lake.

See... they do kinda resemble Swans...

Bob12 · Apr 16 2011, 11:48 PM

Not as clear as I would like, but I was happy just to get the picture. The eagle was pestering some gulls and other birds in the area and just keeping him in the viewfinder was a challenge.

***Hans*** · Apr 17 2011, 10:52 AM

@Maelin: So glad you joined this thread! No matter what camera. This isn't the photo concrit thread

Te Swan Sisters?

Hilarious!

@Bob: I'd be happy with such a pic, too!

Lady Maelin · Apr 17 2011, 11:31 PM

Hans...glad to be able to have the *Swan Sisters* hold still long enough...LOL

Bob...what a fantastic photo. Recently I tried to catch a photo of a Hawk on the wing...and only caught a piece of him...this one of yours though is lovely!!!

Bob12 · Apr 18 2011, 08:07 AM

Thanks. It took several attempts to get this one.

Lady Maelin · Apr 18 2011, 10:40 PM

I can understand that...I had a least ten photo tries and never did get more than a wing here and there...but I will keep trying, especially after seeing yours and knowing it can be done, if your quick enough and have lots of patience...wink!!!

***Hans*** · Apr 27 2011, 11:50 AM

Beautiful birds, Dragonfan.

Lady Maelin · Apr 28 2011, 12:07 AM

WOW...Dragonfan...WOW...

One of these would have been amazing to catch sitting in a tree...but two of them that's just incredible...thanks for sharing.

Dragon Fan · Apr 28 2011, 10:10 PM

We were watching them fly up and down the Creek for about half an hour when they landed almost directly across the Creek from us, I was very happy with the picture, it was taken with a Kodak digital zoom camera. We thought it amusing that they were there watching the "Humans" go by on the bicycle trail that runs along the Creek. We found out later from a park worker that they are a mated pair.

Samsara · Apr 28 2011, 11:59 PM

They are beautiful! I have always loved Birds of Prey. You were very lucky to catch this on camera Dragon Fan!

StevenB · Apr 29 2011, 06:18 PM

Wow! That first image of yours is terrific Hans. I'm not suprised it has so many views on flikr. It could almost be a sea monster - at least a monster in a sea of feathers.

***Hans*** · Apr 30 2011, 05:04 AM

Thank you for the kind compliment, Steven. Yes, that photo is popular and currently has about 400 "awards" and wins almost every contest I enter it in

***Pam*** · May 2 2011, 11:34 AM

mara · May 2 2011, 01:43 PM

oh it is a beautiful bird. Nice colours.

***Hans*** · May 2 2011, 03:47 PM

Simply beautiful, Pam! A great pic.

r2005 · May 3 2011, 01:53 AM

Look through my stuff, and I don't really have any good photos of live birds that I took myself, so I figured why not settle for a statue of a woodpecker. There were several other woodland animals at the entrance to the park. This is another photo from my Quebec trip when we were at St. Anne Falls.

My father, on the other hand has a really great photo of a live bird. His is a very eerie photo of a black bird sitting on a headstone in the winter.

***Hans*** · May 3 2011, 02:41 AM

What a fantastic idea to scylpt that woodpecker from that wood!. I love it!

I also like your father's photos. Makes me remember crows on heastones I photographed at Arlington Ntl. Cemetery in Washington, many, many years ago.

Lady Maelin · May 9 2011, 10:47 PM

WOW!!! Pam what beautiful photo of an equally beautiful bird.

jube · May 9 2011, 10:51 PM

Rianne, you may have to type the whole [IMG] code in, including the http:// as it's just not working for me today. I really should look at my photo albums and see what I can find but that's virtually a whole day of back-tracking through all the files to add to all the themes we've come up with

***Hans*** · May 10 2011, 10:20 AM

Rianne, looks like you have tried to link to a photo on your own computer or to a photo in a web based folder that is not accessible to the public. Please try again?

Jube, try giving your photos tags, it'll make your life much easier

Rianne · May 10 2011, 07:39 PM

whoops, I thought I deleted that.

I'm going to try again. ( i forgot to delete it again) now it's deleted.

jube · May 10 2011, 11:17 PM

Hans

yes it would make my life easier but the last few months have flown rather quickly

with lots of different things going on here that although I've semi-organised my photobucket albums as well as those that are on my compie, I've yet to post them.

Rianne · May 11 2011, 06:00 PM

Help! my picture doesn't show up!

Dragon Fan · May 11 2011, 09:13 PM

Rianne, I had the same little red box my first attempt. My problem was when I copied the link into the insert image box, the first part of the link got doubled up. You may need to take out a HTTP///(img) at the front end of your link. Don't know if this is what happened with yours but Ya never know.

Lady Maelin · May 11 2011, 11:40 PM

Rianne...once you get the hang of it, it's really fairly easy...but it can be a bit frustrating at the start...just keep trying and you'll get there.

Rianne · May 11 2011, 11:49 PM

thanks. this is my third try, lets see if it works.

Rianne · May 11 2011, 11:51 PM

never mind.

Bob12 · May 12 2011, 02:30 PM

You have to have "[img]" (without the quotes) in front of the link with no spaces, then "[/img]" at the end of the link, again without quotes and no spaces.

Rianne · May 12 2011, 06:20 PM

I did.

Dragon Fan · May 12 2011, 09:16 PM

Rianne, From the url (right click on the red X) I think this is a link to the page where the picture displays on Deviantart.com instead of the actual picture in your gallery. It is a very nice picture of a baby, bird in hand so to speak.

jube · May 13 2011, 03:22 AM

Jack Sparrow said you needed help

My suggestion Rianne, is to find yourself a photobucket account and upload any photos there then post here. I hope this helps you out

Mom'ers told me about this and it's helped me out enormously. I had trouble trying to put your photo from Devianart, myself so photobucket came to the rescue

Nice photo though

***Hans*** · May 13 2011, 07:11 AM

It should be as easy to link to a photo in a deviant art account as i is to one on flickr or photobucket, all are the same kind of storage solutions.
