Well, he is a stranger in these parts, anyhow! This male Eider duck was photographed in Svalbard in June 2012 at about 1 o'clock in the morning!
EOS 1D MkIV, EF 500L IS, Gitzo tripod laid flat and a Mongoose head.
1/320 second @f/10, ISO 1600
Adjusted and converted in DPP4, then in PS5 adjusted Levels and played around with various masks and Curves adjustments to tweak out more detail in the black head. NR on the background with Dfine.
I think he is a handsome devil and I hope you like him!
Comments and suggestions most welcome.
Thanks for looking, Gerald
