How To Make A Person On Poptropica

"A flush of water" Red Rocker


When working with wild animals is essential to use certain means of camouflage to achieve the approximation necessary to obtain good results.

There are plenty of ways to camouflage. The most widespread method is the use of an await or hiding of small size and color of the medium in which it is installed.
According to the distrust of the species to be shooting more or less we should be careful when integrating Agura in place that we have chosen to locate it.

With aquatic species presents another drawback to When photographing and some perform their daily activities away from the shore, too far from our abjetivos.
A very effective method is the use of floating await (hidrohide), which is nothing more than a await installed on a floating platform camouflaging both the team and the photographer.

allows us to bet on the best sites of the river / lake and wait for the passage of the waterbirds.
also provides takes a unique angle, flush with water, at the height the eyes of photographed species, which helps the viewer connect better with the look of bird photography.
The low angle power blurs the background and the water layer, which helps isolate the subject in the frame.

Particularly suitable for the picture of ducks and loons, is particularly well with the use of this await. In fact, once accustomed to making this angle, it will cost to re-look positively angles pictures of ducks with some chopped (such as those that are obtained from observatories in lakes).
Examples of waterfowl from floating await:

And when the light conditions allow us to shoot at high shutter speeds can also be interesting to get pictures of action:

P.g County Police Academy

: a matter of luck

time ago that I wanted to photograph this beauty of a species, and although he had sought so far had no luck.
These days ago and completely by chance I could make some shots.

aguanatar
After the rain for a few shots of bee-eater consegir gave me a walk around the Tietar looking for new areas where photographing birds, and what was my surprise when turning behind a bend in the road flew out of a post this personage. I had searched the area last spring in the mountains at a height, but never expected to find in the lower valley (about 600 meters) and only 4 or 5 miles from home!

There are days when luck was not with us but this morning everything was on my side: I always carry a backpack in the trunk of the 4x4 (I'm not much to photograph from the car) but due to bad road conditions put it in the passenger seat so that the bumps did not suffer much, because of that I got these images.
The light also helped. It was 14 h, in a normal day would have been tough.
And last but not least is that the bug did work. Let me throw 10 or 12 in the first host (although I like to be a fence. At least it's the craft of the old days), then landed on another post but rather nearer the bottom or the landlord were so aesthetic. See if you like.


just got more beautiful creature!

Something Simialr To A Wart

V. Bird feeder Siskin (Carduelis spinus)


This year I have been fortunate that Asenath one side of Lugano in the area where I have installed the trough.
February 13 for the first time I saw them and are still coming regularly to feed. Menuda
sorprersa when I first saw the ground trough!

Macho Lugano.


is a species that winters in our country from the rest of Europe.
can see practically the entire Iberian Peninsula during the fall and winter. In spring only found regularly in the Pyrenees.


Coloration reminiscent of the greenfinches and greenfinches, and like many other species of finches, the females have a somewhat more subdued plumage and barred the male.

The first time I saw surprised me their small size (like a tit), its bright yellow and showing aggression against other guests, I guess heightened by the hunger wore, because little by little have been calming and other species to re-find their place in the hierarchy of the trough. The early days to be emboldened by the woodpecker.

During the four or five sessions in which I shot I have noticed that first come to the landlord where I put the birdseed is that makes the head up that is satisfied, then gives way to the next.

While not often feed tolerate the presence of other individuals at close range (this happens to most species of feeder) so it is not easy to shoot several people at once (in the soil is somewhat easier). But dedicating time to get that final one to relax and pamper the company.
