Two seconds and two birds at the Taupo tree...

Facebook | Website
It was a bit breezy lakeside this day and these two were just hanging out and didn't seem to mind a photog aiming the Canon in their direction. Actually there was three birds if you count the one in the tree.
Some get pedantic about doing a longer exposure with a strong wind with herbage as it's never sharp but apart from the white tops on the water how are you to know there was a decent breeze. You cannot photograph the wind only the effect it has on physical things in the environment. If you watch enough Youtube vids from the 'so called' experts or the ones that make out they are it has to be tack sharp front to back. But that doesn't convey the windy blowy day so am just going to go with what feels right to convey the story rather than what them think.
Anyways that's my little rant against the self proclaimed know-alls...if you create something that you really like then it's a masterpiece. Photograph for yourself and not a formula...thats what makes you stand out from the crowd.
