Hello everyone..I am posting my first bird of just common Egret.As I am Macro photographer.. I am not shooting bird regularly..
I want to do some experiment or composition on this bird.. so I shot common bird, crop and blur BG. Another image is of same bird with different composition of B/w.
so can you suggest me which composition is right and why..??
With Canon 550D 18-55mm(not possible to take in this lens but i have crop up to 40% and sharpen.)
F-5.6
ISO:400
That egret is not common where I live. I like the posture and focus. Exposure might be a tad under, though I'd hate to see blow-out on the whites. I'd like to see a vertical crop, with a little more contrast (brighter bird, darker BG). I think it's a terrific picture, especially with that lens. Nice job.
Firstly, Im not sure which is your first name, but I will go with Joshi. With regards to placement, you have the right idea to place the egret in one third of the image, but would leave a little more space behind. You should also try and be aware with what is behind your subject - try and get a clear BG if possible. Moving to your left here, you could have eliminated the large tree trunk. Having said that, make sure you are still in a position to get a good angle on your subject. With the size of this subject, and the pose, a vertical would work here too.
The black and white version is a good idea ( white subject against dark BG ) but I feel you have the processing too extreme.
Good input from above. It is a challenge to do birds with shorter lenses, but with larger birds that are tolerant, good images can be created. Generally you will be working with small subject in frame compositions, so good points from Stuart. You def. do not want the subject in the center of the frame.
I tend to like slightly darker images than many folks, but the top frame still looks a bit underexposed to me, and I think there is some room in the whites to brighten it up a bit.
Good work getting a handsome bird image with the short lens. Good advice above. I prefer the color image, since the dark green compliments the bird's plumage. I might have taken just a little bit off the right, but as posted the eye is just about at the rule-of-thirds point, which is a good place to start. I'm seeing some blue cast to the whites on the bird. Looking forward to some more.
Thanks all... Now I get perfect Idea and difference between both image...As i Write Above i am not shooting birds regularly..So now from this i get nice lessons.. Hope next time i will post more better than this.
