First spring arrival
Each spring, billions of birds undertake one of nature’s most remarkable journeys by flying thousands of kilometers north in search of summer nesting territory. Spring migration is highly anticipated by birders and wildlife photographers for the opportunity to witness different species in their vibrant colors and patterns that many birds display during their breeding season. One of the first Warblers passing through in our area are the Yellow-rumped Warblers. They migrate earlier in spring and later in fall and they are in greater number than other species. I think it is important to highlight them even though they are common than others. They are still striking in their breeding plumage. One of my favorite technique I use to achieve a natural foreground blur or bokeh, is to place an object, in this case a fallen tree, between my camera and the subject, rendering it out of focus and creating soft blurs that partially fall across the subject without diminishing its visual weight. To me, these blurs enhance the image by adding layers of depth.
