Galapagos 2010 #2 (last week's theme :)) Feeding Frenzy
I have been privileged to experience several Blue-footed Booby feeding sprees. I have found that photographing the sprees well to be quite challenging :)
Going blur has been the most successful....
This image was created with the handheld 70-200mm f/4 IS lens (at 70mm). ISO 500 (should have been ISO 50 but who can think clearly during a frenzy?). Evaluative metering +1/3 stop (should have been zero/same excuse as above :)): 1/30 sec. at f/20 in Tv Mode. AI Servo AF with 45 point.
The bird (right upper center) with the bluest most obvious feet was added from another frame in the series.
I wish that I could have gone a bit wider but Juan had the panga too close to the action for me!
Don't be shy; all comments welcome.
See tons more Galapagos stuff on the blog :)
