Days Old Chicks

[dankearl]

Pretty big crop here, they are really small (I have never seen Osprey chicks this young).
I can hardly even see then in the viewfinder, I just thought people might be interested in seeing them.

1/1600, F8, Iso500, 600mm, HH, manual, Nikon D800

Thanks for the post. They are cute and so small. Looks like you have a good level shot for when they are bigger.

I am enjoying your developing story, Dan. Some processing issues (look at the parent's back).

[dankearl]

Thanks, Grace, it was a quick and dirty processing, I don't really plan on keeping this, it is a huge crop, maybe 10 percent of the original, I posted more for birder interest than photography. I can't get closer, fortunately the chicks
Get a lot bigger!

Dan:

I too have enjoyed your documentation of their life cycle.

Yes, even the D800 has some cropping limitations!

Well exposed.

Cheers

Hi Dan, you have shared this story all the way, and Ive enjoyed your series. Now that we have seen the chicks, no doubt you will share their growth with us too. :w3

I really want a D800! I am looking forward to seeing these chicks grow up.
