RE: Monochrome Bird Photography

in Feathered Friends9 months ago

Stunning photographs. I really like how the Black and White effect totally changes the mood from happy birds to a rather intense moment. Thank you so much for sharing! We have such beautiful wildlife in South Africa.

Sort:  

Birds predominantly black feathered most definitely more detail captured using black and white photography, normally battle to capture decent pics of them.

For sure. I struggled with the drongo birds in the Kruger. The photographs are always under-exposed. I need to try the B&W trick!

Extreme sunlight, dappled shade, where birds normally sit during the heat, always difficult photographing black birds for some reason.

Black birds always look like shadows in my photographs. Only rare opportunities when the sun falls on them perfectly for a beautiful photograph.
