    Default Hello from Montana

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    I farm for a living,which enables me to enjoy the outdoors and take photos of course. Living in central Montana I have a great opportunity to see and photograph many different kinds of birds. I seem to take the greatest number of pictures of the buteos. Our immediate area has many Swaison hawks. I will hopefully be able to figure out attachments, and would like to submit a photo of one of those Swainsons, along with a Western Kingbird. I was conflicted on the cropping I did on this photo, as to leaving the Kingbird in the upper rt. corner, or coming in closer on the face of the hawk. Taken with Canon 7D on AV; 70-200mm f2.8L lens with 1.4 ext. 280mm; f/4; 1/2000; iso200; I took this photo about 1 1/2 yrs ago. I now see I think I should have closed my aperature more, and perhaps I would have had the Kingbird in the corner in focus? I am looking forward to learning a lot from this community. Al input will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    Welcome to BPN, Sarah! Looking forward to your participation!

    I copied your photo to the Eager to Learn forum here: http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...o-from-Montana so you can get critiques on it. That's a great moment you captured.
