Three Birds on Stakes 木中無人三隻鳥

【Ontario Yours to Discover】That day we went to Pickering in Toronto to take sunset photographs. This day, my photo buddy, John and I wished to continue outdoor photography. We went to Pickering again but this time we followed the map to a nearby creek near the marinas in a lakeside park. The location was facing the dam and the distant lighthouse. We wanted to practice slow shutter shooting but upon arrival, we were surprised to find many flying birds.
 The number is more than usual. So we simply photographed birds instead. I concentrated my theme more on those wooden poles inserted in off the lake water where the birds had a place to stay. Since the distant poles were terribly far away, I used a long focal length lens and a tripod for my bird photography.

【 安省景物  由你發掘】那天我們去了多倫多碧谷寧拍攝日落,這天,意猶未盡,我與攝友章兄再往碧谷寧獵影,我們按地圖位置,跑到接近遊艇停泊的小港的一處湖濱公園,位置剛好面對遠處的堤壩和燈塔。我們本想練習慢門拍攝,抵達目的地,卻見群鳥飛翔,數目比平常多幾倍,所以索性改為拍攝飛鳥。我集中湖中對開插在水中的木柱,鳥兒便作為停留的地方。由於距離很遠,所以用了長焦距鏡頭和三腳架拍攝。

仍未滿座,尚有空位。

#3.  I waited till more birds gather in the sky before shooting the flock of birds

我待天空聚集較多飛鳥才拍下這張照片。

#4.  Flock of birds follows whereas a few fly as the navigators!

一艘水警駛進港灣,群鳥追隨,幾隻更擔任導航!

幾隻小鳥脫頴而出,一展飛翔美姿。

#7.  I moved closer to these birds and waited till they were all there on the fence.  Suddenly, a flock of birds following a police cruise entered into my camera view finder.  I captured this photo when the ship moved to the right position on the left.

我靜靜地走近這群小鳥,等候所有都站在欄杆上。突然間,另外一群鳥正追隨一艘巡戈的水警輪進入眼簾。我待水警輪移到左邊適合的位置,拍下這張照片。

#8.  The sky turns red and the dusk is coming.
Nikon D300s, 80-200mm f/2.8 @200mm, f/8, 1/6400s, ISO 800
天色開始變紅,黃昏將至。
