One of my favorite birds from Chiriqui Panama
By all accounts a difficult bird to get a capture of in the open as it normally skulks in low bushes or at their edge.
Very active and shy. It took several days to get a few shots; set up tripod and waited....and waited; then one evening
out it came onto a patch of gross a few feet away.
Almost full OOC just a small crop from left to balance. Colours are really difficult to get , this being quite a sombre bird
Minimal PP with NR to BG, and usm T 25, 65, 0 to pop, slight S&H to detail the white bib a little
1/200, Ev -1 to give a bit more SS, iso 800 F 8 ON TRIPOD
40d 1.4 TC ON 100-400
Simple pic, uncommon pic, hope you like:S3:
