    Default Scarlet Macaw

    Here's a Scarlet Macaw from my recently completed Costa Rica workshop. I absolutely love photographing Macaws in flight! The colors are just incredible, and the birds have so much personality!

    Canon 1Dx Mark II, 600mm, f/4, 1/1600, ISO 1250, manual exposure, hand held

    Sick shot Doug. Perfect wing position and that beautiful long tail! All set off against a great background. So nice.

    I don't recall ever seeing a Scarlet Macaw flight shot any better than this. It all came together. Nicely done, Doug.

    Hi Doug, I think Bill summarized my thoughts on this one exactly. A spectacularly beautiful bird, perfectly captured, and a new top standard in Scarlet Macaw flight shots - well done!

    Doug this is amazing, great colours and sharp focus along the length of the bird. About as good as it gets I reckon

    Gorgeous! Really like the curve along the back and down into the tail.
