A worn adult Least Sandpiper was strutting its stuff recently in a half evaporated pond. Fun lying in the still damp muck - 'tis the time of the year! The light was getting harsh, but I managed to tame some shadows under the belly, tail and chin via dodge tool - some fill-flash at time of capture would have been good as well.
Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/2500s., f/5.6, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, about 80% FF, eye work, a few of the bright highlights on the bill have been eliminated, as well as some spots in the water.
A classic DanCad photo!
Nice and low, tack sharp and excellent IQ.
I like the color of the green in the water and the line of vegetation across the frame.
Still waiting for shorebirds to migrate through Ingonish. Very very delayed,
