Wild Goose Chase

Posted by: pamela15s on: February 24, 2009

I’m beginning to like wildlife photography. For a few days I was chasing after bugs, bees, birds and some other insects. I’m pretty sure I saw a hummingbird in our area. My husband isn’t convinced though.

So anyway, here are some bee shots early morning while hunting for nectar.

These bees are so teeny weeny (not to mention FAST!), almost the size of an average black ant. Took me a few hundred shots to come up with these shots.

Dragonflies are easy to photograph. They’d allow you to come as close as you want as long as you don’t touch them. Thank goodness.

This huge fly is a good model too. They,too, don’t care how close you get. But I don’t wanna touch them, thank you!

Isa Kang Henyo!

wow, salamat sa malaking compliment!

nice photos!

nice set of photos again. anu lens mo pam?

Fhaye, thanks so much!

Red, salamat din! Kit lang gamit ko Nikkor 18-55mm VR :D

galing mo dhai. :) applause..

Pam, parang I feel the need to have a bigger and better lens for shots like these, hahaha I tried this before, even with good zoom they are still pretty small. Nice shots though, esp the one with the fly. Frustrating kapag gusto mo pa lumapit noh? hehehe mas marami sanang details maganda. Wala akong nabasang Post-process ah? Ung third pic sana maganda kung mas buhay iyong kulay noong flower and is there a spider web between the flowers? parang may napansin lang ako. are you aware of the Litratong Pinoy site? I thought of joining but nasira nga iyong camera ko…haaay, check it out.

uy marlon, thanks sa critic, I wish a lot more people will critic more like that! better way of learning!

yes, frustrating kapag masyadong malapit kapag kit lens lang ang gamit. I prefer prime lens for shots like these over zoom lens. Much faster. im eyeing on the Nikkor 50mm F1.8 nga eh, hehe… mas maganda sana yung 1.4 mas mabilis pero la daw AF yun eh. pero I still have a lot to learn so maybe later!

yung zoom lens, gusto ko sya for taking bird shots. way high up sa trees kasi yung mga andito. hmmp. kaya nga silhoutte lang nakuha ko na shot.

yung kulay ng flower, sensya na talagang maputla yan hehehe. yes may spiderweb nga.

post processing, not so much just a little cropping and a tad bit of sharpening kasi I noticed kapag magpost process tapos i-upload na sa net, parang naga degrade yung sharpness ng photo. ewan ko lang kung napansin rin ng iba.

salamat sa site, I’ll look it up. :D

emrai, thanks too!
