Birds in the tree, a photo from Ile-de-France, North

Photographer's Note

Birds in the tree

You have to walk on tiptoe to reach capture these birds, some of which have very acute hearing. Just get close to a collective or immediate flight.

We must be patient and be tiny!

Bonjour Philippe,

Les branches aident au cadrage des oiseaux. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs des cygnes, des canards et des oiseaux. La lumière de la fin de l'après-midi rehausse les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journée.

Bonjour Philippe,

J'aime beaucoup les teintes ainsi que la belle lumière qui frappe en diagonale sur les cous des cygnes. Il faut souvent beaucoup de patience pour obtenir ce que l'on veut, c'est pour cela que la retraite est très intéressante.

Amicalement

Bonjour Philippe,

Love the additional seagulls and ducks here augmenting the 2 white swans. Good sharpness with nice reflections & warm colours. I like the rippled patterns of the water resembling a kaliedescope. The split between light at left & shade at right is also good. Tfs. Bon weekend!

Good morning dear Philippe,
Very nice capture; a scene as if out of a tales book.
İt's in color but has the taste of a monochrome work.
Very good layout.
Interesting to see the seagulls resting on the branches of the tree, which they normally can not do !
Very nice framed.
TFS and have a nice weekend
Best regards

Hello Philippe,

Tu as su faire preuve de patience et te faire tout petit pour ce très beau résultat, une belle scène de la nature.
Tout est bien placé dans le cadre et la tonalité ocre-marron de l'ensemble fait bien ressortir la blancheur du plumage de tes "danseurs" dont on devine la grâce de leur évolution sur ce morceau de lac des cygnes.
Cordialement.

patdeph (35738) 2012-04-21 3:25

bonjour Philippe
voici une agréable scène de la nature,où j'aime ces oiseaux parmi les branches tortueuses des arbres.La blancheur des plumages ressort bien dans les teintes harmonieuses de leur environnement, et la lumière dans le reflet ajoute de l'éclat à la photo.Superbe!
Amitiés
Pascale

Hi Philippe
Great wild life capture great majestic birds. I can share your experience for it's an easy task capturing them in the wild natural environment such as this. Your patience is certainly paid off. Beatifully caught timed to perfection, crispy and sharp, they are sure impressive. Great effort, well done. My congrats
Best regards

Bonjour Philippe
Lest tons chauds sont dus à la lumière descendante de fin de journée.
Cela donne un effet intéressant ce qui ne m'a pas empêché d'effectuer un WS.
Le cadrage est parfait avec les mouettes au repos.
Amitiés

Philippe
Je viens de voir la photo de Nicou et j'imagine que tu devais être dans une position voisine!La lumière de fin de journée donne des tons chocolats agréables à l'ensemble et il est assez surprenant de voir que les oiseaux semblent former trois couples (l'un parait plus improbable que les autres!). Une belle photo très bien composée.
Amicalement
JJ

Royaldevon (17791) 2012-04-21 11:49

Hello Philippe,

You have done very well to get so close to these birds without disturbing them. You only have to scare one bird and they will all fly away!
You have captured a lovely calmness as the swans glide gracefully beneath the trees and the gulls snuggle contentedly in the branches.
The l/h swan is strongly positioned whilst the branch, above its head, makes a good diagonal lead towards the gulls and the top orner of the frame.
The light on the water, with its hues and reflections, is lovely.

Have a lovely w/e,
Bev :-)

Ciao Philippe,
ma che bell'immagine hai catturato e ben composto.
I soggetti, si sa, sono sempre molto fotogenici, ma è anche la presenza dei rami secchi a rendere il tutto molto più affascinante e particolarmente piacevole.
Molto buona la qualità, eccellente la resa cromatica.
Un caro saluto
Giorgio

Hi Philippe!
A really good one! I like this mixture of swans, ducks and birds:)! Good light, sharpness and colours! I like the brown tonalities a lot, and this composition with the branches. You got them very well placed!

josepmarin (55023) 2012-04-26 2:18

Bonjour, cher ami Philippe,
la patience et la discrétion dans tes mouvements t'ont permis de capter cette scène fantastique des oiseaux sur l'arbre et les cygnes dans l'eau. La photo a un mérite, parce que c'est une difficile prise.
J'aime les éclats et les reflets sur l'eau, grâce à une bonne lumière, dans cette composition très bucolique et avec une grande beauté naturelle.
Un beau travail.
Avec mes amitiés,
Josep

Bonjour dear Philippe
Beautiful picture of the 3 varieties of birds, the graceful swans & the little birds sitting on the tree as well as the duck. The brown water creates a nice BG. The ripples create a nice impression with the play of lit up & shaded areas.
