I know very few of you know me but I tend to do 99% "wildlife" photography and by "wildlife" I mean... birds that are pretty used to being fairly close to humans. Not exactly park birds, but pretty close to it. They tend to be a little more jumpy than park creatures but docile enough that the ones who ventured very close (five to six feet) only needed to hear my shutter noise 200-500 times before it stopped freaking them out so badly.
Some examples. By the way, I've not found any concrete guidelines on what the dimensions/requirements are. I apologize for breaking any rules due to ignorance.
BTW, got this one because it's not often one can take a picture of a graceful creature scratchin' like a golden retriever;
My problems are numerous. The first being... I feel like I'm a snapper. I'm not making photographs, I'm merely getting a bird in my viewfinder and trying to time my shutter release to coincide with the bird or squirrel looking in some way that's moderately aesthetic. It's more an effort of patience than photography.
Oh, critique is welcome if anybody wants to bother. I need all the help I can get.
How do I make my shots seem less... snapshotty? Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
