Avian Image of the Week for the week ending November 16th, 2012: John Cooper - Australialn Mud Lark
Congratulations John!
This mud lark had nested on a branch over hanging a swamp. A water-hide 10 feet high was used to get level with the action. The bright yellow BG was the result of late afternoon sun back-lighting yellow/green water reeds. (Minus 20% yellow saturation PP). In an ideal world the adult bird would have given a better HA..!!
EOS 5D, EF100-400mm @ 400mm, 1/200 sec F14, ISO 400, Synchro-sun exposure (nest in shade) flash x2, tripod, raised water-hide.
