People usually don't like the night, and always think that the night hides evil and evil! But for the nightlife animals, it's time for them to get up and the happy hour of the day has arrived!
The more beautiful the night!
Show off a group of night birds here and let everyone know a little bit about the beautiful night elves!
Night Elf: 1
Eastern Horned Owl
Also known as the Red Horned Owl, it is much smaller than the collared owl. Dear officials, is it cute?

barn owl
Barn owl, very tall, 34 cm long, the timid girl in the dark night saw it, must be a little scared?! In fact, it is as happy to see it in China as pie in the sky! It likes to live in an area with people, and the grass owl may prefer to stay in a no-man's land, this picture shoots on the roof of a Thai temple, you must see it.
Photographed in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan
However, this bird is really not easy to see in China, when shooting it in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, the bird could not be found in the eyepiece, I believe many people have the same feeling. The first night beat, the parameters think that the aperture is the largest, the slower the shutter, the better, the high sense of 10,000 or more!
Not really!

Collared owl
Be like a gatekeeper in the night! It's watching us night-time troublemakers at its doorstep, huh!
My personal feeling about night photography is: the premise is three glare flashlights, a distance of 14 meters to 16 meters. If it is the first night shot, the shutter is between 80 seconds and 160 seconds, the high sense is 5000 or more, the aperture is the largest, because the first time the hand is busy, the hand tremor machine shock heartbeat has, so as to ensure that the shot is clear, the noise is not a big problem, it is originally black.

Long-tailed Nighthawk
If not noisy, slowly approaching, it is generally not when you exist, let you happy to shoot, this bird starts shooting from 30 meters, all the way to within 1 meter mobile phone shooting, and then retreat.
If you have night shooting experience, then the aperture does not have to be the largest, the shutter is 15 seconds to 30 seconds, and the high sensitivity is within 3200, and the shutter speed does not need the reflector to pre-rise, do not shoot continuously.
If you like to play reflector pre-rise, the shutter is within 10 seconds, and the high sense is within 2000. The last thing I want to say is: I don't recognize what parameters and what way to shoot, and the method I am used to shooting is the best.

Indian Nighthawk
This is a loner (Teacher Song) in Thailand with the headlights to take a picture, so the photo is warmer, nighthawks like to crawl on the roadside on the ground birds, this method is the fastest and most time-saving.
Night Elf: 6
Black-winged sandpiper
What's wrong, this bird can also shoot at night? Everyone is shooting during the day, this picture I took at night, but it is not easy, because it is different from the owls, as soon as the flashlight light passes, it wakes up, and walks back and forth, so it is difficult to take two clear pictures and leave.
Night Elf: 7
Magpie Plover
Thai experts say it is a magpie plover juvenile. This was found by the way while looking for the yellow-mouthed owl. In China, it is one of the big rookies, but, out of curiosity, a check of information, the famous boss, in China, has the name of "Four Joys", because it is the most favorite bird to sing, and is the national bird of Bengal. However, in China, the common name of this bird is really not mentioned, and friends can search for it for themselves!
