Birds

28th April 2001 to 22nd February 2009

Photos relating to birds. Despite the exotic nature of the majority of the birds in this collection, most of these photographs have been taken within one hour's drive of my home, as the North Cotswolds has two premier bird collections; Birdland and the Cotswold Wildlife Park.

This collection shows that it is possible to take pictures of birds in aviaries, through various degrees of mesh. In my experience, it tends to take the bird being some distance into the aviary (too close and the mesh is prominent, too far and flash may not reach), a long lens, and a low depth-of-field. In some cases it also takes a good flash and/or a high ISO rating.

The Birdland photographs are compiled mostly from my 2008 visit; however, a few 35mm photographs from 2007 remain as I think they are still superior to the their 2008 counterparts.
