Another shot taken this morning whilst out for my hourly exercise, but primarily to check on the Little Owls, of which, both are doing well, with a little intervention.
Like Jon A images, with heavy dew these birds do start off if the morning with rather wet plumage, maybe this is why he was on a log? Light wasn't the best this morning compared to the last few days, but you have to make the most of a very small window and perhaps in PP later the darker, sooty areas can be 'softened'. Techs could have been a lot beer ie SS, to me 1/1600 HH, but it worked and the MK3 delivered in my opinion, the blistering rate of fire & buffering is second to none, but with the mirrorless aspect, it's just delivering so much with the little owls who are within meters, oblivious of the camera and my presence.
Again, processed on the MBP so I can only rely on 'numbers' to give me indications on WB, the rest is 'as I think', so this will be reprocessed when I'm 'back in residence' so to speak.
Thanks to those who viewed or commented on the previous posting.
