Vladilenoff, Thank you!

Wonderful shot!

Mark, Thank you!

How do you manage all this?

Shalik Grigory, The birds help)))

Great, do you feed them in a photogenic spot?)

Grigory Kramarenko, Sometimes they don't want to be photographed without payment, that's when...of course...incentives are absolutely necessary)))

Grigory Kramarenko, Sometimes they don't want to film without pay, that's when...of course...incentives are simply necessary)))

Andrey Kiselev., That's how it was in this case, as I understand it?) And how, if it's not a secret?

Rotfish, In the forest. You can find a lot of interesting things there)))

Andrey Kiselev., I'm always wandering in the forest, but I've never noticed any birds near the mushrooms here. You're lucky...

Andrey Kiselev., That's how it was in this case, as I understand it?) And how, if it's not a secret?

Grigory Kramarenko, Sunflower seeds)))

Andrey Kiselev., I'm constantly wandering the forest, but I've never noticed any birds near the mushrooms here. You're lucky...

Rotfish, They need help staying near the mushrooms)))

Grigory Kramarenko, Sunflower seeds)))

Andrey Kiselev., Got it! Thank you, I'll say it again - super!

Rotfish, They need help staying near mushrooms)))

Andrey Kiselev., I know that, but maybe our forest is old, there are no birds in the forest at all... I'll go to the young spruce forest, I saw it there... Thanks for the answer.

Rotfish, Most of the birds always stay on the edge of the forest.

In the forest. You can find a lot of interesting things there)))

Andrey Kiselev., Is this definitely not the same tamed nuthatch?)

Andrey Kiselev., Are you sure this isn't the same tamed nuthatch?)

Atlas, Oh, come on, I have mine, and that author has his))) And of course they're not tamed, but they make contact well)))

Andrey Kiselev., amazing! I was sure it was shot in a studio.
High-quality studio lighting and a set that would do credit to a stop-motion animated film about forest animals.
Well, feeding them is half the battle.
How did you achieve such lighting, if it's not a secret, of course?
Reflective screens, or remote flashes with a diffuser?
1/500 x 6.3 at ISO 640—that must be very bright.
With the sun behind the clouds, I don't think there's enough light even for a clearing.

Atlas, I chose a spot in the forest so that at certain hours, certain areas of it are completely illuminated by the sun. But that's assuming the sun isn't hidden behind a cloud. Photographing birds with additional lighting is quite a hassle, and it doesn't last long. And I won't even mention flash. They don't like it. And in this matter, trust is the most important thing. Not all birds are cooperative, but if they dare and trust, then that's it, it's in the bag))) The main thing is not to delay the "paycheck")))

Andrey Kiselev., I see, thank you!
I've always looked at your photos with interest and pleasure.
A chipmunk comes to me to dine on bird cherry berries.
The sun never shines there, under the tree, because of the neighboring trees and bushes. It's dark...
I'll try to feed him in the sun.

P.S. I'll write this just in case, because sometimes people get offended, thinking they didn't like the photo. I don't rate anyone.
