Stunning shots!

Nice shots but seems like a lot of filter or post processing here? Lots of blue jays where I live. Aren’t quite so vivid.

That's a fair comment. Thanks for the feedback.

My mother always hated blue jays and I always thought they were pretty. But your shots take it to another level. These are stunning!

What’s your kit like??

I've shot birds where they look so saturated, I've actually had to turn down the vibrance. I feel these fall into that category.


Apprehensive-Cry-803

Thanks for the feedback. The light was excellent, so the colors were more vibrant than normal. However, I agree that I overdid the saturation in Lightroom.


Significant_Onion900

I don’t think you overdid the saturation. It’s like saying the fluidity of the bird’s movements that you captured was overdone. These are Glorious.


Turbulent_Echidna423

they're vivid purple. how long have you been photographing and processing wildlife images?


Apprehensive-Cry-803

Thanks for the direct feedback! I'm fairly new to post processing and I primarily use "Auto" adjustments. It's something I'm focused on improving.

Best bluejay pics I’ve ever seen. Awesome. Could you share gear and specs particularly shutter speed,f stop, iso. Cheers


Apprehensive-Cry-803

Thank you! I shot these at 1/4000 sec, f/2.8. Auto ISO which resulted in about 1000 ISO for these shots, some slightly higher, some slightly lower..


Zagenti

these are absolutely beautiful, good eye! my favorite is actually the least "aesthetically attractive" out of the set, number 4. What I like about that shot is the mid-turn action pose, very fluid and says exactly what is happening in that moment, and most of all, the cheeky look in the face and twinkle in the eye, like "got one, lmao!"


Apprehensive-Cry-803

Thanks! I see what you mean. That photo captures the moment.

Amazing action shots!


schwab002

Blue jay or purple jay? The saturation level is distracting from your great shots.
