Black-necked Stilt

[Raybel Robles]

D750 | 300mm f2.8 w/ 2X TC | f/8 | 1/640s | Auto ISO 2000


Loving my D750 so far, it is surprisingly sharp with the 300mm f2.8 + 2X extender combo, auto focusing is great as well. I was shooting with a D7100 (DX) before Xmas and I never went above 1250 ISO, using up to 3000 in Auto ISO in the D750 and I don't even notice any considerable amount of noise. I'm tempted to go above 3K next time when needed.

Super image Raybel, stunning light, lovely colours in the BG and well exposed. Also love the low angle, well done!

Beautifully exposed image, great detail throughout. I recently got a full frame, and coming from a previous generation crop camera, the high ISO capability is just stunning. This frame displays that image to its fullest.

I'm not sure if its an optical illusion with the leg angle and the forward body pose, but it looks like a hint of CW rotation might help

Wow Raybel! You have really stepped up your game in the past few weeks.
Another excellent shot.
I absolutely love the BG colors and the low POV.
The bird isn't bad either.!
Keep 'em coming,
Gail

Looks like your D750 works very well in your hands, if this excellent shot is anything to go by, beautiful natural colours in that b/g.

Hi Raybel, great low angle, well exposed on the Stilt, sharp, and the colours of the BG take this over the top.

[Robert Kimbrell]

Loved the background from the thumbnail, Super low point of view, The Stilt is sharp and nicely placed in the frame, well done.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the low angle, walking pose, sharpness, composition and sweet BG colours. Excellent image.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Exquisite! Such beautiful birds and you couldn't have asked for a nicer BG. Perfect exposure, low shooting angle and pose. Superb!

[Simon Wantling]

Wonderful image - can't praise it enough.

[Bill Dix]

A real beauty, Raybel. Love everything about it. Stilts are so photogenic, and you've captured this one handsomely.

[Binu John]

Wonderful shot! Lovely pose and light. Excellent POV, composition, BG and exposure. Very well done!

[Raybel Robles]

Thank you everyone for the comments! Much appreciated.

[Arthur Morris]

Ditto all the positives here plus the perfectly square to the back of the camera head angle works perfectly with the walking pose.

You might try to open up the (red) iris a bit....

A lovely image, great detail and sharpness, nice bg to set the bird off. Having photographed these plenty of times I know how hard it is to get everything right, you have managed it here though.
