Birds

With my focus on movement and dynamism, I attempted to capture the movement of birds, a symbol of freedom. Birds were a difficult subject, as they are very timid and move quickly, so I had to stay in the same place for a long time in order for them to relax around me.

I used a Canon 400D with a macro lens to take these photos. The macro lens was very useful in getting close up images with a low aperture while being a fair distance away from the subjects.










I could have done with waiting for a bit longer, in order to get more successful shots. Despite this, I like the two shots above that I feel were successful.
