Here's another look at this unusually late Pied-billed Grebe that seems to want to attempt to over-winter here. Same circumstance and story as the other I posted of it, nut here I really liked the bow wave pushing in front of its chest. This species is a powerful swimmer, and the river it is found in is has a rather strong current - this makes for lots of interesting water patterns pushing against the subjects.
Canon 7D + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/250s., f/5.6, ISO 800, natural light, handheld while prone on the snow/ice, cropped for comp, my usual eye work, tamed a magenta-ish cast on the body (selectively desaturated the magenta channel).
Hi Dan, once again, great low angle, and you certainly nailed the HA here. Good sharp detail on the head and neck, and love the smooth pastel colour to the BG.
Nice low angle is right! I like the detail in this high key frame. Perfect HA and the wake looks great. Well done Daniel.
Come join me for a Custom Raptor Workshop starting this November 2019- January 2020.
