After Jeff Rugg read the “Field Etiquette for Nature Photographers” post here<\/a>, he sent me the column that he has written for the weekly newspaper column that he writes. He was writing for permission to mention the blog in his column; I gladly assented. Jeff’s Yellow-rumped Warbler Art image was awarded first prize in the Digital Category in the BIRDS AS ART 1st Annual Bird Photography Competition. You can see his image here<\/a>. <\/p>\n I thought it apropos to share this with you here in a guest blog post. <\/p>\n

| \n Jeff enjoys creating avian composite images. He created the files for this one in his backyard with the old EOS-30D (replaced now by the EOS 7D) and the Canon EF 100-400mm IS L zoom lens. He did not need to worry about having others scare off his birds.<\/p>\n From Jeff: “This bird bath composite was created in the bird bath area of my water garden. I used the Canon 30D set on a tripod with the Canon 30 foot remote cable release. When I saw a bird striking a good pose, I created an image. The first shot was at 10:20am and the last one was 4:46pm all on April 10 of this year. The shutter speed varied. All at f\/5.6, ISO 160, at 200mm. <\/p>\n For more on the 7D\/100-400 combo see “How Dan Cadieux Masters Canon EOS-7D Image Files<\/a>.”<\/p>\n |
