[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe [Anglais]
Note : lors de mes vacances de février au Chinaillon je me suis baladé 10 jours avec mes raquettes à neige et mon 350D. Et un beau jour, face à la majestueuse chaîne des Aravis, j'ai pu capturer ce Choucas des Alpes.
C'est mon premier cliché d'oiseau en vol, certe il est petit mais le payasage est grandiose ;-) En arrière-plan c'est la Pointe de Bella Cha 2511m à droite et dans le creux c'est le Col des Annes.
---
Nom : Chocard à bec jaune ou Choucas des Alpes – Nom scientifique : Pyrrhocorax graculus – Famille : Corvidés.
---
Description : taille 30-38cm, poids 170-245gr, âge maximum 11ans. Son plumage est entièrement noir et ses pattes rouge-orangé. Ses ailes sont également plus courtes. La première année, les jeunes ont encore un bec gris-brun et des pattes noires.
Comportement : oiseau très social, il niche en colonies dans des crevasses et des grottes. Il plane souvent en profitant des ascendances le long des parois rocheuses. En hiver passe davantage de temps à moyenne altitude, près des chalets, des villages et des stations de ski pour exploiter les déchets liés à l'activité humaine en montagne. On les trouve ainsi en grand nombre sur les sommets très fréquentés, près des refuges, des téléphériques et autres lieux très visités, où ils deviennent très familiers et se laissent nourrir.
Habitat : espèce commune dans les Alpes et Pyrénées. Nidification observée de 500 à 3500m. Nourriture naturelle : insectes, vers, escargots, mollusques, araignées, fruits, charognes, ordures.
---
Photo : redimensionnée et bordée en 800x600 pour TN. J'ai ajouté une nouvelle version dans le workshop où j'ai déplacé le choucas dans le ciel pour qu'il soit plus visible...

Comme vous l'avez dit, l'oiseau est très petit, mais la photo est très jolie. Splendide paysage.

It is an impressing picture Christian, and congratulations for your first bird in flight.
You have really beautiful lanscapes of the Alps, you could sell them for postcards or tourism information, they make me want to visit. Nice to see you around. Regards, Felipe.

Thousands appologies for the short comment; I'm very crowded with my work these days, but I allways find a couple a minutes to enjoy and reward a good photo.

Hi Taz, what a stunning scene, and to have the Alpine Chough flying overhead makes it even more special. I love the little village tucked away in the centre. It is very impressive, this is a stunning composition, TFS

La netteté et l'exposition sont impécable. La compostion bien balancée et en bonus, l'oiseau vient ajouter un peu de dynamisque dans l'image.
Bravo et merci de partager tes plus belles images.

Hello Christian,
Nice to see you back on TN!
The picture is great though the bird here looks rather like nice bonus to the lovely landscape than a main subject of the photo.
Anyway, that's not that important.
VERY WELL DONE!

Hi Christian,
it's a beautiful winter landscape with lovey colours and very nice light. The flying bird is nice bonus.
Good POV and details.
Great work, my friend.

Ready with the renovation?

superbe photo techniquement reussie , bravo !

Stunning landscape, your exposure is spot on and the bird in the scene just adds to the overall beauty of the composition, nice work indeed.

Hi Christian
Great shot with breathtaking sense of size and scale. The composition is exceptional with the little village giving perspective and the mountains providing awe.
The POV is absolutely stunning, colours are brilliant, DOF is never-ending, and exposure is perfect.
Great work and TFS.

Hi, christian.
Superb capture. Even without the bird this capture is very good. Beautiful landscape with excellent exposure, depth and composition. Small houses show the power and even danger of mountains. Bird puts the last point.

Hi Christian... Snow lovely snow... Last week I came a day to late to see snow. There where still some dark brown ice on the mountains but alas still no snow for me... :)

Lovely shot like the one in the WS more but I gather you too, :)

Brilliant capture Taz, the inclusion of the bird in flight is a nice bonus. Very well done.

Hi Christian,

The bird in the picture is just a bonus, I really like the landscape, and from personal experience I know how difficult landscapes are. This landscape is exceptionally good, and I wish I took it. Very well done.

Hi Christian,
This is a beautiful scene! An excellent shot, perfect detail throughout and great exposure. Nicely framed too and a bonus bird, excellent. I like the workshop picture too, framing the bird that way would have been just perfect. Excellent work.

I love your alpine landscape shots and this one doesn't disappoint. A beautiful scene expertly captured. Perfect exposure. I only noticed the bird after 3 or 4 looks. Bonus!

Hello Christian,

Another masterpiece from you! Excellent picture of this beautiful landscape and the Alpine chough flying over it! Very good composition and POV! Exposure is perfect and the colors are brilliant and look very natural! The note is also very informative! A complete post! Congratulations for this work of art! TFS!
