This is something that happens with my nature photography pretty frequently. Below are two of my absolute favourites from this spring (Pelee Island, Mid May) :
Taken in the afternoon at Fish Point, the light was excellent, and the bird was being just cooperative enough for some great photos. Even at this fairly large web-size, it doesn't do the photo justice at how silky smooth these photos are at their highest quality. Every feather shows excellent detail, and there is almost no visible grain in the background!
And what's really great, is I now have two really nice (slightly different) photos of this Pewee to add to my collection. This happens a lot, where some of my collection (eg,/ Lawrence's Warbler) is 7 or 8 photos of the same individual bird! With a bird like a Pewee, you'd never really notice much of a difference from one Pewee to the next, so it works out great. Bring on this bird:
An ultra-dull female Bay-breasted Warbler that hung out in the same spot of the Woodland Nature Trail (Pt Pelee) during the cold snap, for multiple days. I managed a few "different" photos of this girl, but it's painfully obvious in my BBWA collection that 3 of the 5 photos are of the same bird!
Not a big deal, but just one of those things that happen in nature photography that may not always be obvious when looking at photo collections.
Wow!! Amazing work. Keep it up.
