July Theme - Chicks - Common Loon - Studio shot
It was a cold and dreary day, 100% cloud cover. But, it didn't slow the loons down, so I tried to work with what I had, and went for more of a "studio" look on this one.
D700 600VR TC1.4 f/5.6 1/200s ISO 800 SB800 with Beamer, -1.0
Shot from my little boat, "Loonie Too", camera on pedestal mount.
Post: CS5, curves, selective sharpening, full frame
Wish I had a little more DOF for the moms body, but there wasn't much light to work with, and I was fighting to keep it sharp, considering the bird was moving, the boat was bobbing, etc. In retrospect, could have pushed up ISO a bit more.
Advice and comments always appreciated.
Cheers
Randy
