This cute pair was imaged at Cape Coral on Artie's IPT last month. The light was fading, so aperture choices limited. A pretty good example of the D700 ISO performance.
I wish I had more room at the bottom, but tipping the camera down brought in too much blurry foreground, standing up made the angle on the birds less desirable, plus the females feet were in the burrow a bit! I thought this was the best compromise.
D700 500mm f/4 with 1.4 TC f/6.3 1/250s ISO 2000 fill flash -3.0
There was so much detail in the file, that I had to use a very high compression ratio to fit under the 200kb limit, so quality has suffered.
Comments appreciated.
