    Another from my trip with Isaac. With senior year at university in full swing I have not had any time to shoot. Hopefully that will change this Thanksgiving break.

    From a hot humid critter-filled night.

    Nikon D750
    Nikkor 600mm f4AF-S I
    Nikon SB-910 flash (TTL +0.3)
    SS 1/250

    ISO 800

    Beautiful shot Walker! Lovely pose and nice eye contact!

    I probably would have burnt the tree somewhat to separate it from the bird. The yellows look a bit blown on the eyes but I know it's a result of the lighting used. A keeper regardless!

    Photo is sick. No one has a shot like this. This is not a sit on your couch at home type of shot. I am just glad I was able to be there. The details look really good but the whites are a bit hot as are the yellows. Must be because of the monitor you are using as I know the light was dim . because I was holding it! Email me the RAW and I can fix for you if you would like.

    I love the eyes. Beautifully executed.

    I see that While are a bit bright and can be tamed a little.

    Thanks for sharing.
