Hi all,
Here is a recent Northern Harrier frame from NJ. It was a pretty overcast day and this was taken ~ 45 minutes before sunset. In post, I did noise reduction on the bird and background, sharpened, and some standard levels adjustments as well as cropping about 40% off (such skittish birds here) so hopefully IQ held up okay. Background is trees on the end of the field.
Camera: Nikon D500
Lens: 200-500mm f/5.6 at 500mm
Specs: 1/2500 ISO 1400 f/5.6
Thanks for looking!
Alex
