This lovely bird is photographed today, early in the morning - 8:37 AM.
Canon 40D, Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8, f/4 at 1/800sec, iso200 +2/3
tripod, remote switch, camo tent
PP: standard post-process - 7% sat, 2% contrast, S/H, USM 400/2/1
I get used to go for my shots early in the morning when the light is so soft. To take this photo I get up about 4:30-5:30 , travel, climb to a mountain with ~20kg equipment, position and wait :)
Of course this is just one of the several species I see there. I hope to get better close-ups when the expected 300-800 sigma came the next week :)
