I have been photographing Frogmouths since 13th April. The Frogmouths roost during the day. They take up the same position and are facing east [ near enough ].
13th April:
Used Canon R7 with Sigma 150-600 C 1.4 Converter from approx 35m. I was facing due west, time was approx 3.00pm.
14th April:
I used a Canon 5Ds with Sigma 120-300, the time was approx 10.30am. Distance was approx 5m.
16th April:
Yesterday I used a Canon R7 with a Sigma 70-200. The photo was taken at 4.50pm [ near enough ].I was able to get within 3m of the Frogmouth. I was hoping it would open its eyes but it was happy enough to keep them closed.
I know that there are a lot of variables involved, not least of which is me, however it seems to me that the angle of incidence of the light hitting the bird has a major effect on the end result.
I enjoy looking at the photos posted here and the image quality of them.
When you take your photos is the angle of incidence something that you take into consideration?
If anyone is interested I am happy to provide the original raw type photos.
