Here is a special bird I got to photograph a couple of weeks ago. I was surrounded by a flock of about 300 waxwings, and concentrating on a few that were lower amid some berries. While doing so I could here parts on the flock leaving, little by little, including the ones I was photographing. When I lifted eyes from the viewfinder, low and behold this gorgeous leucistic individual was right there to my right - probably the whole time too, but I had been so zoned in on the few individuals in front of me that I almost never saw this guy! After taking about 6-7 images it too flew off, the whole flock gone from sight. I was at the right place at the right time!
Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/500s., f/8, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, about 75% FF, removed a few branches, but left the extra twig in as I love the heart shape to it
Probably sitting there waiting patiently for the master photographer to nail those gorgeous whites... Love the inclusion of the branches and the canvas overall. TFS
Terrific to see this unique waxwing and the high key BG accentuates the bird, the starkness of the twigs and the wee poop of color make this special, way to go Daniel.
It's a special shot you got here Daniel! I think it looks highly artistic with that bright background and great looking twigs. I'm especially a fan of the right one. Exposure, details and comp is all very nice.
