Another shorebird shot from Foster city, CA. This location is great for getting flight shots of shore birds when the tide and the light are right


Nikon D850, 500PF + 1.4X TCE-III. ISO 1000 f/8 at 1/3200 sec hand held. processed with C1P 12

hope you like it

Arash that is absolutely marvellous .Wonderfull detail on the bird. Can you tell us what crop it was,if any.

And was this 500mm @f5.6 or 700mm @f8. It can't be f5.6 with the TC on .

Lovely flight shot.
Perfect wing position and I like the blue of the water.
I like the fantastic view of the feet and that little water droplet on the toe.
If I was to be super picky, I would clone out the specular highlights on the legs.
Well done,
Gail

Superb with a perfect downstroke wing position. Losing or toning down the specular highlights on the bill and the legs is an option.

with love, artie

Hi Ian it is about 40% of the original frame and yes f/8

Fantastic detail, just ridiculous what the D850 can do in the right hands and in the right light.

Sweet frame. Nice light,nice pose and a nice background.

thank you all I am too lazy to clone out the reflections on the bill! gotta wait to get one with a dry bill :D

[Chris van Rooyen]

Spectacular posture in perfect light! DOF is impressive. Love the little droplet on the toes :-)
