3 Wing Flaps

[vishaljadhav]

Got to see these last week near our place, winter migrants to our area these are the Bar headed geese
Tried to get close crawling but then remembered that left the bean bag back in the car
It was getting late in the evening and had only 20 odd minutes before the sun went behind the hill.

5D MIII + 400 f2.8 + 2x TC

1/2000, F 7.1 , ISO 1000
Handheld



Doing this lens handheld sometimes is sheer madness for your wrist .

Let me know what you think
Critiques and comments are welcome

best regards

I like the idea of this composition and your crop.
However, the bird on the left ruins it for me. It is running in to the next bird.

I know what you mean!
After experimenting I've finally found a wrist band that helps minimize wrist pain. It is called the McDavid Elastic Wrist Support. I found it on amazon.com

Has anyone else found any wrist supports that they like?

Hi Vishal. A nice arrangement and nice that you can see the face of the rear bird. And 3 darned good wing positions. With luck, the rear bird would have been flying about 8 inches higher. Image quality looks a bit suspect--especially on the bird's faces; is this a large crop?

ps to Vishal: who forced you into buying the 400 f/2.8?

Arthur Bhai,
This is not a big crop its around 60% of the original frame , let me tonight relook at the this and try and repost it if any improvement can be done.
400 f2.8 was always a lens i wanted as i shoot videos sometimes in the Western Ghats where the 2.8 helps with the light, i am still stuck with the older version as i am not able to decide on the way ahead doing videos and photos together cant find the right idea yet .
