I attended a presentation with Lisa Langell, a local wildlife photographer. The title of her presentation was "How to Avoid the 7 Key Mistakes Wildlife Photographers Make". She is lively and engaging. Her PowerPoint presentation was filled with examples of her own work with the "mistakes" and the joyous results.
I went back to my February 2013 photographs taken at the Gilbert Riparian Observatory. Yes, I made all of those mistakes. The big one was that I went from place to place to take photos instead of quietly finding a spot to watch the activity and learn the action of the birds. I decided to process the photos and post them on line so that I could compare the "mistakes" with future photographs (given that I am adaptable enough to learn.) These are plain and uneventful.... Birds are in the middle...just standing there. And one final comment...I need a bigger lens if I am going to do this more often. No comments necessary. This is my "draw the line in the sand" post.
