Milly Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I can't believe how many pics I have taken of headless chickens, chickens' bottoms, blurry chickens - has anyone got any tips for a good photo? I have also tried getting someone else to hold some food out to distract them, but they just will not keep still! Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Just keep snapping and you'll get a good one eventually . I've got lots of bums in the air too . I was trying to line my girls up for a photocall the other day (don't ask me why ). This was the result (that's not a throw, it's MIL's old bedcover ): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 love the photos - very calendar girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_H Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Great photo's - middle one especially - looks like they should be on Top of the Pops dancing to some silly song !!! I too have lots of headless chick photo's - thank goodness for digital as they don't cost anything. Mine seem to run straight to the camera (over filling the frame) or turn away showing thier rear ends Yes - simply take lots and always have your camera to hand. Please post here when you have some H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milly Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Great photos! Maybe that's the trick - put them somewhere unfamiliar and snap them while they are busy looking around! Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 ES insisted on bringing them ALL in at once (usually they have a solo visit) and as I find it hard to get a picture outside of all three at once, I just thought I'd try it . There's nothing much to peck at on a sofa so I thought I might actually get some heads up in the air rather rear ends . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenzin Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Chickens must be one of the hardest animals to photogrpah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 TOP TIP !!!!! Get a digital camera with a multi shot function, & set it to take 6 - 9 shots in sequence.At least one of them will be a good'un Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenanne Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 my one and only tip: take it from as close to there level as possible - i.e. don't take it looking down at them. I mean that literally, of courseno-one ever looks down at the chicken as being off elsser intelligence than me (sadly!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
