Green-winged Teal
Note the camera body used here. (2006, six months into by Avian photography journey) My only decent image of a GW teal to date, I hope to change that this coming winter having found two pairs in a local pond. Stay tuned.
1/1250, f 5.6, iso400
Canon Rebel XT, 500f4 + 1.4tc
Grace:
Always fun to look back. The fancy equip. doesn't always yield the best images, you have to be out there!
Nice colors, pose, details.
I think we should have a regular feature where we have to post image greater than 5 years old!
Cheers
Randy
My first DSLR was a Rebel XT so this brings back good memories as it served me quite well! It was matched up to a cheapo Sigma 70-300 at first mind you, but still good times as a fledging digital bird photographer. The teal is a bit low in the frame IMO, and the image could use a bit of CW rotation but I like the colours and details.
Very nice. My first digital body was the original EOS-1D. This has been a difficult species for me too....

nice low angle, it sure doesn't have the IQ of 1DX but it is fun to go back and see how long we have come. My first Canon body was 20D

Hi Grace, good low perspective, and love the colours on the head.
My first digital camera was actually a Nikon D50, then changed over to Canon which was a 20D.
Looks really nice to me, Grace. Colors are wonderful. I might be tempted to try some off the top in a 16:9 pano.
It is a real beauty, Grace. I'm still waiting for my opportunity to get a great shot like yours of this species.
Beautiful image. Perhaps raise it up in the frame if there is some room below.

Thanks everyone. No room below....I had absolutly zero idea of what I was doing at the time, lucky I got anything in focus and exposed properly! I'm going to target this species this winter and see if I can't do better.
Spectacular image with wonderful colors, fine sharpness, nice low angle and composition.
Regards,
Satish.
