I decided to work through the last of the sunbird photos I had flagged off, so that I could start on something new in the coming week. Hopefully 4 posts in a row dedicated to just one bird type isn’t too boring. I had hoped that I could include the white fronted sunbird I captured as well, but those photos were taken from the hide and the bird was in a tree quite far away. Sadly, they are completely lacking.
1/320sec, f5.6, ISO 140It looks like this sunbird has a streak of pollen on his chest. 1/320sec, f5.6, ISO 180I include this photo only because I absolutely love the shape her wings have created. It looks like she is drawing a cloak around herself. 1/1000sec, f5.6, ISO 500After all that editing of sunbirds in aloe plants, I wanted to try something a bit different. This photo was taken with the house in the background, giving a stark white backdrop. I quite like the black and white treatment. Thoughts? 1/1600sec, f5.6, ISO 400A male scarlet chested sunbird caught with an open mouth, and covered in pollen. 1/100sec, f5.6, ISO 800A male scarlet chested sunbird stretches for an aloe flower. 1/1000sec, f5.6, ISO 8001/800 sec, f5.6, ISO 800
Beautiful photos and birds 🙂
Thank you very much!
