A couple of summers ago we had a significant forest fire in Ottawa...this Northern Flicker is perched atop one of the remnants of that fire, with plenty more charred remains behind me at the time of capture. That particular patch of forest is slowly rejuvenating quite nicely but lots of reminders will remain standing for a long time to come...
Canon 7D + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/800s., f/8, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, just about FF, usual eye work, some perch clean up. Audio used.
