I had just been photographing static goosanders and then I saw this out of the corner of my eye so I swung round as a quick as I could and didn't have chance to increase SS.
All C&C welcome.
I have been able to get close to the females but not the males. Good job on that. The body of the bird looks sharper than the head. Still pretty cool frame though.
Pretty good for a surprise shot and non-ideal settings. And what an interesting looking bird too - like a cross between a cormorant and a duck! This one does look a touch soft but probably no surprise at 1/1250 sec. Nice splashes and piece of action. TFS.
Hi Jon, I like this plus the others to come, but posting larger I feel has it's drawbacks, as at 1200 the image is 'awesome' this for me has lost a lot of the impact sadly!!!
The techs should have been pushed here, although to a degree I like the motion blur. You will have fun next month and if you had been able to hook up with young Stu, he would have been an excellent field guide, even locally.
