Well, not the best light, but I really like this shot. Taken a few days ago in Islamorada at around 4 o' clock pm. Hope you like it! Enjoy!
20D
70-200 2.8
TC 2X
Flash -2 (I think hehe)
Tv 1/2500
Av 8.0
Iso 400
Handheld
Vertical crop
I know I could've gon with a lower ISO and a lower shutter speed (as far as this particular shot goes) but as she kept moving and I wanted to freeze movements I decided to go with this settings.
C&C are very welcome and much apreciated!
I like the COMP and the sharpness of the eyes. Where did you find the brown rainbow??? Nice chatting yesterday. ABP II is on the way.
ahah.. the brown rainbow is just a palm leave behind :) Nice talking too! And thanks!
I like the pose and exposure control and wish for a bit wider DOF.
Great pose. In this case, having the bird stare straight down the lens makes for a strong composition. Like Axel, I would have liked some more DOF to get the beak in focus. Good job.
I like the eyes.. they show very well how this egrett points to the fish. the position of the eye is essential for this.
congratulations. I also think more DOF will be good.
good luck and better shots....
Thanks everybody, I apreaciate your comments very much. But in order to get more DOF with a BG that is as close to the bird as this palm leave was, I believe the only way would've been achived just by not getting as close to the bird (please correct me if I am wrong), and I think, despite this, that with such a long beak to expect it to be all in focus is not realistic hehehe.. if somebody knows, please do tell me! Thanks!
Well done Ramon! I love the composition. Very unusual and it works.
a totally cool shot, very nice!
