Hi folks ,
still on the Falklands but on another island . The Cormorant shot was taken in harsh late morning light on Sea Lion Island .... sadly during these cruises one cannot choose the time of shooting . Just take what you can get ..... even in harsh light .... and try to get the most out of it .
Canon EOS 1D MKIV
EF 500 IS L
Tripod
F 5,6 ; Iso 400 ; 1/3200 ..... well SS way to high for the static subject
Processed with C1 and PSCC 2021 ; slightly cropped
Thanks for watching and commenting to my previous posting
You did well considering the situation you were faced. I still wish the subject would have turned its head towards us by a few degrees - that would have given better connection with the viewer, and would also perhaps have lit the chin. Techs themselves are perfect with good exposure and excellent sharpness. Open bill is a bonus!
Wonderful view of this bird! Lighting and details are great, but the disengaged head angle makes this tough for me, even with the beautiful blue eye ring. Headshots more than any other need that direct eye contact to connect.
