Kinda did not what I came for
Not easy to please?
Every photo experience I take away as a learning. Well, somehow I want to make sure that time is well invested. The headline of this trip is actually the real story considering I was up for clicking a few birds again! Guess what, none of my over 170 bird trial pictures I shot that misty cold morning, was worth posting. It would just been a mediocre essay The Abu Dhabi Wetlands are a great place to walk around and spy out a variety of wild birds. If you have the right lens, you will get close enough to get flamingos in your frame. Thats where the story actually begins:
If you are trying to get the shot as accurate as possible in spending less time on the computer, than don’t go there with lower than 500mm or a 300mm with a lens converter. A good lens providing sharpness and range pays off to have bought or even rented, otherwise you will have to crop the heck out of every image.
A freezing cold morning and bitten by plenty of mosquitos, brought still some fruitful results from the area of the wetlands, where nature let you forget the daily stress of the city life.
Judge for yourself and tell me what you think.
