Superb starlings

Oct 12 2026 | By: Jim Zuckerman Photography

These are superb starlings I captured in Kenya. The challenge with this kind of picture is depth of field. It's important that each bird be sharp, but they were on different planes. So, I closed the lens aperture down to f/14 to insure I had as much depth of field as possible given the lens I was using and the available light. I took this with a 500mm focal length, and the other settings were 1/400 and 3200 ISO. I waited until I could see the eyes and most of the faces of each starling.
