this is another image of the white-tailed kite, this is an adult bird.


Nikon D500 and 600E FL + TC-14E III ISO 640 f/5.6 at 1/3200 sec hand held processed with C1P. hope you like it

Gorgeous bird against equally gorgeous BG. Nice light and pose.

Beautiful view of the eye with a great pose. Something funky going on with the wings(especially near wing) and the body under the wing. It looks smudged/smoothed (maybe NR but I doubt it with your PP skills and that ISO). TFS

Thanks David the image looks completely natural on my end.

Beautiful image. No nits here.

Love this image, Arash. Superb pose from the subject, well exposed and BG is stunning. I also like the positioning of the bird within the frame, very well composed.
Techs look great, kite is tack sharp with nice detail and beautiful colours - as always, a pleasure to view:S3:

Warmest regards,

Stunning, all thumbs up... The eye has it all! Any explanation to you choosing the D500 and not the D850 here? Sure the reach but all those extra pixels... How do you choose, what do you consider? Thanks

[arash_hazeghi]

Thank you all, Ann there is no difference in reach between D850 and D500 as they both have the same pixel pitch. The D850 is a bit slow for the kites sometimes...it runs out of buffer fast and slows down. I've gotten some pretty good action shots with it though just wish buffer was unlimited and it was 10 fps all the time
