The Japanese apricot flowers are in bloom providing nectar for various birds. I never get tired of capturing their beauty. Even though I would be happy to see and capture more different species, I am happy with even common subjects such as Japanese white-eyes or Japanese tits.
Recently the weather has been a little too good and I have struggled with harsh light. Therefore I have tried shooting towards light or shooting in the afternoon when the light gets slightly better. Luckily I had one cloudy day.
The garden where I go closes at 4.30 pm. The birds must have learned that people will disappear. Some 15 minutes before closing time, I suddenly see many birds around, even the shy ones that keep their distance during the day. They are busy finding food before the dusk.
梅の花の季節がやって来まして、小鳥などに甘い蜜を提供してくれます。あの美しい光景を撮影するを消して飽きることはありません。色々な種類の鳥を撮れたら嬉しいですが、みじかなメジロやシジュウカラだけでも撮りたいです。
最近天気が良さすぎて、光線が固くてとても撮りずらいです。脚光で撮ったり、午後の少し柔らかい光線を利用したりしています。
撮影ロケの梅林がある公園は午後4時30分閉門です。鳥達もその時間人間がいなくなるを分かっているみたいです。閉門15分前ぐらいから急に鳥の数が増えて来ます。シャイな物も近くに来ます。みんな日がくれる前に必死に餌を探しています。
