Hi, Took a trip out to Sweetwater in the NW part of Tucson and photographed
many birds, numerous ducks, a beautiful White Heron I couldn't get a clear
shot at, and others. I like this photo particularly because the shovel beak
is clearly shown, I know the whites are blown, tried -0.7 EV, though I feel
I should have came out at 7:00 AM when they open instead of 11:00 AM when
the Arizona sun is becoming it's brightest. Am I being petty, when I say I
looked at a top photographers prints for sale, and found most of his whites
blown in Duck prints for sale. I liked them and would have bought them for
their artistic value . . . I photographed this Shoveler with a Olympus
E-510 IS-1, with Zuiko 70-300mm (140-600 equiv) 1:4-5.6 ED, Aperture
Priority, F 6.3, 1/1600s, ISO 400, 600mm, hand held, 0.7 EV, and auto WB.
Please excuse me for being windy. . . Gus
