Relatively new bird photographer (1 Viewer)

[Alexandre_Tiago]

Hi my name is Alexandre, I'm a Amsterdam Based wildlife photographer and im just here to share photo's to get some tips and tricks so i can improve my photography.
Not sure if im at the right place for that but its always worth a try i geuss. Here is a picture of a spoonbill with a broken wing a day ago. It was standing by itself in the shallow water all the otherbirds had left him already. The picture is pretty Melancholy but thats the point i was trying to make. I decreased the shutter speed a to 1/3 of a second making the water waves look smooth. The picture was taken during blue hour. Let me know what you guys think.

Hi, Alexandre welcome to the forum on behalf of the staff and moderators. I really like this photo! We do have quite a bit of people on here that take photos. The best place to ask for help with photos would probably be in the following forum:

Or in the forum for your particular type of camera, which would be somewhere here:

The forum to discuss all things to do with photography, with sub forums for cameras

www.birdforum.net

we also have quite an active gallery to post photos in, we do ask that you limit your posts to 3 in a 24 hour period.

Hi Alexandre and a warm welcome from me too. Such a shame for that Spoonbill, are there any wildlife rescue centres around that could catch him up and either treat or euthanise him?

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I hope to hear about all the birds you see when out and about.

Good question, coincidentally the local forester came by during the time I was taking the picture. He said that it would be a lost cause. The bird could've been brought by to the rescue centre but the damage on his wing was so severe it would probably not recover. The medical professionals would've probably put it down.
