angiud Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Beautiful pictures! I like wildlife photographs but I'm just moving my first steps. See: http://www.flickr.com/photos/angiud/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetefldon Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I too enjoy wildlife watching and am trying to get my head round the photography side as well. Most of my subject matter is birds, with the occasional reptile. I was interested in your shot of the Oriental Magpie Robin which I assume is a juvenile given its colouring. This is a shot of a mature bird that sings outside my bedroom window most mornings! Oriental Magpie Robin. I live to the South of Prachuap Khiri Khan town and am fairly lucky with wildlife given that there are several excellent National Parks not too far away and I am surrounded by wetlands(when it rains) which attract a lot of migrant and passage birds. However getting within range to photograph them is another matter:) BTW great shots on your site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svenivan Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hey Gary, I looked through most of your photos on the website and many, many very good photos. And very interesting. Now when I see a bird in my garden or somewhere else then I can go to your website to find out what it was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanForbes Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Nice sharp photos, Gary. Thank you for posting the site. I love birds and take a lot of photos, but most of mine are just snapshots meant for painting purposes later. I don't post high rez pictures on the internet because I don't want them used for commercial purposes elsewhere. That has happened to me in the past.

Kan Win Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hi garyk, Welcome to this forum. I'm on pbase as well, nice photos btw. Took this photo in March this year and they are still in Kan today Olympus E-3 1/1600s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso1250 Sawadee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanForbes Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Geeez, Kan, that bird couldn't make up its mind what species it wanted to be. I've never seen something like that before. Thanks for the picture. I was trying to get some pictures of a great blue heron fishing the other day, but he was too far away for my lens to get really sharp photos. But, they are okay as snapshots for drawing and painting purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanForbes Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 of a great blue heron fishing the other day In Thailand? There are no Great Blue Herons in SE Asia, this is a Grey Heron. The photo wasn't taken in Thailand. It was taken in British Columbia. I won't be back to Thailand for another 2 months. It is a Great Blue Heron and closely related to the Grey Heron of Asia. It also has a Bluegill sunfish in its bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanno Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Fair enough. That is why I was wondering if it was taken in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
