got this guy at too close a range. hance tried this shot. but never looked staight into me.(which i sure would have enjoyed more) thought the guy had a very regal look in this angle. full frame. hence could not extend the canvas.
equipment:
canon EOS 40D; 300mm f/2.8 + 2.0 T.C.
600mm, f/5.6, 1/100sec, iso 200, hand held
Hi Ramesh. My first question is: Would you have had time to remove the 2X TC? It does look quite cramped in the frame as is. Could go a bit lighter, and angle is a bit steep. I like the slightly raised feathers at back of the head.
Sharpness is OK as posted, but I would suggest that a better handholding strategy (especially with such long focal lenghts) would include raising the ISO for better shutter speeds... :-)
hi Daniel,
first of all as luck would have it i already had the 2x on the lens when the bird was spotted. and unfortunately i spotted the bird when i was almost under it.
i really thank oyu for the iso lesson. will follow from now on.
Great find and good-looking specimen. Could you have moved back for a lower angle? The image could go a bit brighter for my taste and more room at the right would have been great. Keep them coming!
That's quite a different angle. What's reflecting in the eye?
I agree it could go lighter.
Sharpness looks of for me. I agree that it looks a little dark overall, and I'd consider a bit more DOF for a headshot.
awesome eagle it is , different perspective , tightness do not bother me much but image is dark and colors do not look natural
