So I've been trying for quite some time to get clean, frame filling images of small birds. I'm getting closer as I learn better field technique. Recently I've been photographing from a kayak which is working out really nicely for me and I'm enjoying it greatly. Haven't ID'd this guy but I believe he is a swallow of some sort (ID would be great).
Olympus E1, Sigma 50-500 @ 500mm, F/8, 1/400th, EV +.3, ISO 400
On the plus side the exposure is good, I think the head angle is decent, and the shot is fairly sharp. However I wish I had been able to fill the frame a bit more and I am not too sure how I feel about the centralized composition...think it could need a bit more sharpness on the eye but not sure. Let me know what you think, thanks a lot, I've learned so much here and still have a long way to go.
