This guy was very co-operative. I first took a shot from a distance to be on safer side (for he may fly away as i approcah him). This was image #1 shown below.
Then i approached him very very slowly to get a closer shot. Everytime he would look at me, i would freeze in the same place a like a statue. After he gets convinced tht i am not a threat to him, he starts looking away from me and then i start moving closer to him again gradually.
Eventually i made this image #2 and left the place quietly. He still remained on the same perch.
Bird photography is indeed challenging and requires lots of patience and perseverence...
#1 (from a distance - but cropped later)
#2 (almost fullframe)
Hope you like them...
Both images made with Nikon D70s body and Bigma.
C & C are welcome...
