Just a couple bird pictures

[Big_Als_London]

Now I am horrible with names of birds so I don't actually know what these are called and I am too lay to look it up right now.
I am no Jordan but here is a few I took today.

Nice, the middle ones my favourite.

Do you know the rule of thirds? in the middle pic, move the bird to the right of the frame.  Also, you now know everything I know about photography.

I don't know the rule of thirds. I always figured to put the subject in the middle. Hmm

Google it, very simple, it will be an 'AHA!' moment.

Edit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jordanroovers/ Notice how the majority of the animals have more room infront of there face than behind? Notice how the majority of pics do not have the subject centred? If you look at the loons, the head is in the centre, but the body is not.

Lol I will after I start my honey do list. I'm on vacation from the store this week so apparently that means do a crap load of stuff around the house.

it looks like he does it that way with just the bird pictures. I'll try and edit a couple like that next time.

You want to try and leave space for the subject you are shooting to move into, so normally the space is on whatever side they are looking.

Either way they are real good pics if this is something new for you.

i did crop these photos to have them centered. Yes it was my first time more or less.

thanks. I am horrible with names. I'm in Brantford over the next couple days so I am going to go exploring if we don't get too much snow.

Enjoy your time in Brantford.  If you get near the Grand river my mother-in-law always used to tell me there was a pair of bald eagles there. Not sure which stretch of the river though.  Maybe you can catch sight of them.

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to get as we were doing a lot of other family things.  It was hard to leave the wife with the two kids and say hey I'm going out for a few hours looking for birds.
