Low Light Experiment - Head on Ring Necked Duck Drake

[Amol Khedgikar]

Getting off from work a bit late didnt allow me to shoot. Looking at what others have done with 5D3 in low light I decided to give it a try any way.

This one was shot at a local pond after sunset on a heavily overcast evening. Would have liked to have the wing tips frozen and sharp but am happy with what I got in the conditions. What do you all think?




5d3+700 @5.6, ISO 1000, 1/1000 Handheld, no flash. full frame. Tilt left on purpose. Cloned out a small OOF duck behind the rt wing

C&C are welcome as always. Please critique the second image, I cant remove the wrong 1st image I posted.

Thanks

Good exposure considering the light available and DOF holds both eyes in focus. Overall a fine take on the duckie.

Superb incoming pose. I like the wing position,golden eyes and composition.

Nice clear head and wonderful outstretched wings Amol with landing gear down!

Nice pose and eye contact, Amol. Those eyes are engaging. For the 5D3, ISO 1000 should be a walk in the park. I'd push it higher when needed for action.
