BRIONES: Going cuckoo over photographing birds
Briones recounts capturing a kingfisher with a fish and an eagle carrying a rabbit, while noting bird photography demands patience and preparation.
- Michael Briones, a longtime PQB News reporter and photographer, has shifted his focus from sports photography to bird photography, beginning his observation of birds overhead and in trees earlier this year.
- Wildlife photography is often a waiting game requiring Patience as its foundation, since birds do not always appear when photographers want them to, demanding extended observation periods.
- While frequenting the French Creek waterfront recently, Briones captured a belted kingfisher diving into water, emerging with a tiny fish in its beak and twirling its catch before swallowing.
- Eagles remain Briones's favorite birds to photograph; one day while photographing an eagle's nest, he captured an extraordinary image of an eagle soaring with a rabbit dangling from its talons.
- Improving shot quality requires Briones to study bird behavior and camera settings including ISO while ensuring his battery is charged and memory card has space to avoid missing moments.
