Blackbird June 9, 2025 by belindagroverphotography 15 Comments Red-winged blackbirds can be difficult to photograph given their black feathers. I liked the exposure on this bird, I just wish I could have got a bit more of its wing colour π Like Loading...

I like this, Belinda. Feather detail is hard to capture on black (or white) birds. The framing, composition and pose are all pleasing.

No need to apologize for this photo. I agree about the black being a challenge, but you’ve got enough light parts for definition on this one.

This is a good shot, Belinda… rare to catch a blackbird unaware!

Thatβs a great capture, Belinda. π I also find that they are so often hidden or partially hidden by foliage.
