Bat

[Alan Murphy]

Bat (species) ?


Workshop: Bill Forbes Pond, Amado, AZ


D800, 300/2.8, ISO 640, f18, 8 sec, Multi Flash, PhotoTrap triggered.


Spent a few great evenings with the group doing bats under Bills guidance. What a great and addictive experience.
Besides all the wonderful birds that come into the pond during the day, it was such a treat to try something different. I highly recommend visit to the pond for both the birds and bats.

Good to see you venturing in here, Alan. :5
This looks like it was a lot of fun (and a lot of preparation). Great timing and illumination on the wings! Detail looks immaculate.

Excellent image! Here is a repost with reduced brightness which I think helps to give it a less flashed look.

Just great Alan, the reflection is very nice, Ofer's repost does look very good, but the shot is about perfect.

[Rachel Hollander]

Alan - incredible shot and I like what Ofer has done in his repost with the brightness.

TFS,

Alan,

This sort of set up is much too complicated for me, but has produced a great image. I think Ofer's repost improves the overall lighting.

Great work Alan, interesting subject and like the inclusion of the reflection.

WOW and Ofer's repost takes it to a new level.Love the open mouth and direct oncoming flight path.
I wish all the reflection was included but that is a minor nit,
