A friend a camera and a new addiction / #monomad challenge / [ING/ESP]
The photos đž are my entry to the #monomad contest from @monochromes and @brumest.
Greetings hivers. đŠ
Surely many of you have that friend who creates needs you didnât even know you had. They suddenly show up with some crazy idea or to show you a new gadget and end up inducing the need to do or have something new. Well, I have a couple like that, but today Iâm going to talk to you about one in particular who is truly great.
When @muhammadhalim talks to you about bird photography, itâs like listening to a whole library, a true master of the subject, which he certainly is, and he automatically infects you with that need to go out and look for the best angle of the rarest bird.
Honestly, I donât think itâs my style of photography, but I canât deny that I get an irresistible urge to achieve those majestic photographs my friend gets, making it look very easy, but itâs nothing like that. He uses recordings of bird songs for each species he is photographing, looks for specific hours of the day for each species, even specific days of the year. And as you can imagine, patience, lots of patience. Stories of hours and hours lost looking for a specific specimen that never appears, or of others where you literally have to remain motionless for hours so it dares to pose for the camera.
And the result, what can I tell you, he achieves photographs that look like they were taken from a famous nature magazine, amazing and with an equally amazing story behind them.
And as I said, since Iâm infected with this wonderful photographic technique, I went on a personal safari through a forest of barely 60 square meters, and there I tried to get some great shots. The forest is my backyard, and at this time of year some of these colorful birds come close and pose for me from very nearby. Iâve fired the flash so close to some of them that it looks like their soul leaves their body đ but they are great, they stay there so I can keep taking photos of them. And this is the sample I bring you today of some of these models that come to the backyard to eat bugs and seeds, and I take advantage to try to get some interesting shots.
I hope you like them. Iâm reading you.
Saludos hivers. đŠ
Seguro muchos de ustedes tienen a ese amigo que te crea necesidades que ni sabĂas que tenĂas. Vienen de buenas a primeras con alguna idea loca o a enseñarte algĂșn cacharro nuevo y te inducen la necesidad de hacer o tener algo nuevo. Bueno, yo tengo un par, pero hoy voy a hablarles de uno genial.
Cuando @muhammadhalim te habla de la fotografĂa de aves es como si estuvieras escuchando una biblioteca completa, un maestro del tema, que por cierto sĂ lo es, y automĂĄticamente te contagia esa necesidad de salir a buscar el mejor ĂĄngulo para el ave mĂĄs rara.
Ciertamente no creo que sea mi estilo de fotografĂa, pero no puedo negar que me dan unas ganas irresistibles de lograr esas fotografĂas majestuosas que mi amigo consigue, haciendo parecer que es muy fĂĄcil, pero nada que ver. Le pone audios de cantos a cada especie de ave que estĂĄ retratando, busca horas del dĂa especĂficas para cada especie, incluso dĂas especĂficos del año. Y como se pueden imaginar, paciencia, mucha paciencia. Historias de horas y horas perdidas buscando a un espĂ©cimen especĂfico y nunca aparecer, o de algunos que tienes que literalmente permanecer inmĂłvil durante horas para que se anime a posar para la cĂĄmara.
Y el resultado, quĂ© decirles, logra fotografĂas que parecen sacadas de una revista famosa de naturaleza, geniales y con una historia detrĂĄs igual de genial.
Y como dije, que estoy contagiado con esta maravillosa tĂ©cnica fotogrĂĄfica, salĂ a un safari personal por un bosque de apenas 60 metros cuadrados, y allĂ tratĂ© de lograr algunas tomas geniales. El bosque es mi patio, que en esta Ă©poca del año se acercan algunas de estas aves pintorescas y posan para mĂ desde muy cerca. A algunos les he disparado el flash tan cerca que parece que su alma abandona el cuerpo đ pero ellos son geniales, ahĂ se quedan para que les siga haciendo fotos. Y esta es la muestra que hoy les traigo de algunos de estos modelos que vienen al patio a comer bichitos y semillas, y yo aprovecho para intentar lograr algunas tomas interesantes.
Que espero les gusten. Los leo.

Wow que buenas te quedaron, la tojosa genial y mira que ellas son complicadas porque no dejan acercarte mucho y te quedĂł buena buena.
A la tojosa le metĂ un bombaso con el flash que se le deben haber borrado los pensamientos. đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Jajajajaja
Congratulations. Today's #monomad second place is yours.
Thank You very much for participating and for being part of the Black And White Community!
Thank you a thousand. I go to the post right away.
Update: @rg2-foto, I paid out 1.372 HIVE and 0.000 HBD to reward 4 comments in this discussion thread.
Nice. You've been able to get very close if you shot these all with a 105mm lens. I have a 300mm and I still often find it hard to get close enough to take photos like these. I'm not saying it isn't fun though. Because it is. :)
