I spent this evening photographing shorebirds with Doug Brown and we had fun. Here is one frame that I liked. The willets had fun too, jetting around with lots of tail wind which gave us a good workout
Attachment 115265
1D4 700mm f/5.6 1/2500sec ISO 1600.
Hi Ari, good banking angle showing the feather detail and colours nicely. The colours of the BG compliment the willet very well. Great IQ for the ISO, and well captured.
Beautiful, Arash. Sweet light and pose, and your usual impeccable I.Q.
A unique image! Great pose and interesting colours! Your NR technique works fantastic in here!!!
These birds are fast , so getting a flight image as fine as this is a great accomplishment. Beautiful light and fine banking pose. Just seems a touch soft on the body , but the most important eye is sharp.
Colors here are gorgeous, Arash, and bird looks great against the BG.
Arash, could you please share whether you are exposing to the right when you photograph at these high ISO's? Thank you.
The light and colors make this very special. Usual excellent techs too.
TFS,
Rachel
Great banking pose in wonderful light, Arash.
Terrific light, and fine flight capture. Great IQ. Nicely done as usual.

I use NR to remove the noise in post and the MK4 is quite good in terms of high ISO IQ.
I forgot, this is the HD version to see the feather details better
thank you all for nice comments!
Beautiful light, and I love the colors. Your normal over the top IQ!
Specular spots on the feet are a slight distraction for me. They tend to draw my eye away from the head.
A fun evening Arash! Looking forward to getting back out this afternoon! This was a difficult frame to get because the birds flew in front of the color for only a split second. Well done!
Great pose and lighting.
Amazing flight shot.
Sweet light, bg and pose, Arash. Exposure is perfect and your NR work is flawless.
WOW!!!! Superb shot. Love the light, excellent flight pose, teriffic details, and great comp.
Very well done.
Nice work, Arash. Light and pose are great. I can't wait to see your photos when you receive your new baby, the 600mm lens:-).
very nice image,beautiful light,great details.nice flight pose.well done.
Thanks everyone for nice comments and suggestions
Your flight shots are amazing! This is no exception. Wonderful colors and light. Great IQ, particularly for ISO 1600. The Mark IV really delivers when it comes to IQ.
