For the Birds



 You might be surprised to find that one of the ways we relax is actually to photograph!  When we need to reduce stress, we go to the birds.

We also find strategic advantages of photographing birds. It helps to sharpen your skills as a photographer because the birds won't stay still for you most the time, so photographing a quick moving target helps strengthen those skills to quickly manipulate the camera. Knowing that you have complete control over the tool that you are using when capturing that moving target gives you the ability then, to become a better photojournalist and photographer in general.

In some of our photo sessions we have the opportunity to set a scene. Photographing products, or models we can take the time to move the subject, the lights and line up the background. With other sessions, like photographing children, or events, we are always on the lookout to capture that perfect shot as it happens. Photographing birds is like the second scenario, we position ourselves for an image, taking into consideration the background, the lighting and the action an animal might take. We can't ask the bird to move one way or another, but we can move ourselves into position.

This bird is one of our favorites, we call him Elvis because that little puff on top of his head reminds us of the singer's hair. Everytime we go, he is in the same spot, just hanging out with his "hair" flying in the wind.

We enjoy photographing all kinds of subjects, from families, couples and babies to products, events and wildlife. Each kind of photography presents its own challanges and we find them each to be just as rewarding in the end.
