Caught in the Act | Passer domesticus

Discards from the Hollywood dream factory,
songbirds on the lam,
defiant vaudevillians caught in the act,
their lives held together by a breeze.

Wow! I was wondering...how much patience is needed for your kind of photography? Posted 13 years ago

Thanks Ferdy. For the birds, it's all patience. For what I'm after, there's no way to predict what will happen. Posted 13 years ago

These lovely creatures almost seam transparent, made of glass. Your patience was rewarded, did you do a burst? Posted 13 years ago

Thanks Ludo. No, I never do bursts, it won't work with the way I photograph birds. I try to make each image count, but of course I usually miss the moment. Posted 13 years ago

Wow, no bursts, that takes immaculate timing sense to be honed. You might miss some, yet to me it seems that you absolutely do take a lot of godlike ones too;)! Posted 13 years ago

Thanks Ferdy. Never enough good ones, I spend my time cursing my slow reflexes. Posted 13 years ago
