It was with a shock I realised I had gone past 2000 posts on BPN and hardly noticed it ;).
Thanks to everyone for making this a great community...
I am renting some Nikon equipment for my upcoming trip to Kruger National Park and took it for a test in a reserve close to Pretoria in order to get familiar with the controls etc.
I am really impressed...
I feel I have outgrown my Canon 1000D and was contemplating an upgrade to the 7D...the Nikon gear has made the choice even harder :)
Very little processing done here - exposure adjustment in RAW, slight crop, sharpening after resize, removed twig under the butt.
I wish the beak-tip wasn't in shadow.
Techs:
Nikon D300s with 200-400mm f4 VR @ 400mm
f4.0 @ 1/3200 SS @ ISO-400
Exp +0.3
