White was the colour of the day on this outing along agriculture roads looking for winter birds. A flock of Snow Buntings were quite cooperative when they first responded well to audio, then stuck around a while for seeds and cracked corn sprinkled over the snow banks. Photographed from the comfort of my car (remember to turn off the heat and open the windows well ahead of time when doing so in cold temperatures!).
Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/1600s., f/8, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, about 80% FF, cleaned up the eye (these guys have the dullest eyes ever), selectively pulled out some detail in the snow via "shadows/highlights" slider in PS.
Whenever I see a snow bunting in the snow I think of you!
I remember when I first joined BPN in 2011, one of the first images I saw on BPN was a snow bunting you had posted.
I was blown away. I remember thinking I would get a picture like that someday...and I still haven't! It is so hard to get a superb white on white image.
Lovely image Dan. Love the snow on the bill and the details in the snow below,
Gail
