 Kinglets are a bear to photograph. It's not that they are shy. This little guy was so tame he actually landed on my leg at one point during our photo session. The problem is that they are "absurdly active" according to Sibley, or "absurdly hyperactive" according to me. Getting one tightly framed and focused with a big lens is like trying to catch a fly with chopsticks. On top of that, they are always buried in their habitat. Rarely will one come out and perch in the open, and when it does, there's always a busy background just inches behind it. I have given up trying to work individual birds. If you can find a little flock of them, your odds increase. Eventually one will settle down and rest for a few seconds. Fire away. And when you get the little bugger in Photoshop, blur the background. Canon 1D, 500 w/2x, ISO 250, 1/800 @ f/11, 550 and BB minus 2/3 Blurred background aj |
