Casual Flight

From the anchored Hooptie Deux, over the long week-end.

D3, 600/4 plus 1.4x
f/ 5.6, 1/2000, IS0 400
Pretty close to full frame

Sweet image, Fabs. Love the graceful pose and your inclusion of the tree tops which so nicely compliment the colors in the wings.

Great light and dangling feet. The bird looks a bit soft on my monitor.

Wow great timing Fab and I love how you captured the beautiful irredescence in this image. The lighting was perfect !!

Lovely light and colors in this one, Fabs. I do agree the leading wing does look a little soft on my monitor-too. The head, "dangling" feet, and other wing look sharp--so maybe just a little narrow dof.

Thanks, guys! Since this is pretty close to full frame, it's a DOF issue. I'll play with it again :)

Love the iridescent wings! As stated previously, a little more sharpening would help. Nice to get a full frame flight shot at 840mm!

pretty pose Fabs, very nice shot.

Really nice Fabs. I like the unusual flight pose.

Another lucky flight shot no doubt!!!! A difficult subject to get proper exposure, but you handled it very well, Fabs.

Well done Fabs! love the colors and lighting!

Lovely colors Fab. I would like to see the next one!
