For all our bird watching aficionados, check out Mike Maguire‘s photo taken at the Georgetown Waterfront! Mike does a great job of isolating his subject and eliminating elements that could detract from it. Using a vintage Canon 200mm lens, he captures the softness of the bird’s feathers and the detail of its pattern. It is quite challenging to get up close to a bird without them flying away, so having a longer focal length lets you photograph birds from farther away. Additionally, a greater focal length enables you to create a more blurred background, putting emphasis on the subject. Thanks for the excellent nature shot, Mike!
