So many JBPs!

Quite a lot of JBP pic posts lately, coincidentally I paid a visit to JBP today too. Here are the better ones.

nice shots , tweek

I guess u have learned how to take ur objects (birds) clear and sharp .. but I think it is time to learn how to compose it better ... try to look out for a better contrast background and use fill flash to make it eyes glow ..

Thanks mega Yep I should have tried to find a contrasty background, but I find that for bird shots, its quite restrictive. Since most birds are very very active, I normally don't have time to choose the background. And for birds held in enclosures, worse, my angle of shoot is constraint even more. But I'll try...

And fill flash was used in every shot above, just that I don't have an external flash. My internal flash range is only up to 4-5m, so for far subjects, it wouldn't have much effect.

thanks. The cam is C700UZ, and for Kanu's qn, I used my internal flash as fill-flash.

Very nice and vibrant! Haven't tried taking pics at JBP. A bit itchy now...

Btw, did you increase the flash intensity to the max? It does help a bit to increase your flash distance.

I like this one.

And this too.. if the bird is not under shade, the blue tone might be more even and nicer!

Thanks, azone. It's about time you go to the JBP then, to try out your C210 on the birdies! I will try increasing the flash intensity next time....
