1/1250s f/5.6 at 400.0mm
hand held, no flash, basic PS levels, sharpening
I need to thank my buddy Eric Dumigan as we were out scouting Amherst just over 2 years ago when I was getting started in bird photography. He spotted this bird well off the side road that we were on, and both of us were able to hike out for a closer look.
thanks everyone.. I had a touch time editing this shot, the original raw file is very very flat, and some levels adjustments helped a great deal. The thing that bugs me is that after 2 years since I took this one, I can improve on the original edit., I guess my lack of PS knowledge has come back to haunt me!
