Pisi-rädilind, Abroscopus albogularis

1 sekund. Täpselt nii kaua on minu elu jooksul pisi-rädilind istunud pildistamise mõttes ideaalilähedasel oksal. Selle aja jooksul suutsin teha viis fotot, millest kolmel on lind kaadrisse ära mahtunud ja millest kahe puhul on ka teravus paigas. Pilte, kus mõlemad tingimused on täidetud, on täpselt üks (see, mida nüüd siin näete). Taiwani Xitou looduspargi pimedates aluskihtides nägin lindu veel ligikaudu minuti jooksul, kuid sealt enam head pilti välja ei võlunud. See on siis üks positiivne näide, kuidas reisil loodusfotod sünnivad. Kahjuks aga ei ole harvad ka juhud, kus ainukohtumine jääbki rahuldaval tasemel fikseerimata ning need möödalastud "šansud" jäävad mõneks ajaks ikka korralikult hinge kriipima.

1 second. This is the time frame during my whole life that rufous-faced warbler has been in front of my camera on an almost ideal branch. In that time I managed to capture 5 shots - on three photos the bird is fully in frame and in two photos the bird is in focus. Number of photos where both conditions are met is 1 (this one that you can see here). I still saw the warbler after that during approximately 1 minute on the lower and darker layers of Xitou Nature Education Area in central Taiwan but never was able to capture a decent photo again. So this a positive example how nature photos are created during travelling. Unfortunately it also happens that you miss the only chance you are given and these occasions stay on your mind for quite a while.
