Here's another one from early last week. I am trying to work on getting some flight shots of species that I already have standard portrait shots of. I liked the green sheen on this fella's head.
Camera Model: Canon EOS 40D
Shutter speed: 1/1600 sec
Aperture: 6.3
Exposure mode: Av
Exposure compensation: +1/3
Flash: Off
ISO: 400
Focal length: 500mm + 1.4x
Full frame :D
Great shot Glen. Only niggle is far wing emanating from the head - if the wings had been in a different position you would have lost the green of the speculum complementing the green head though. Focus perfect - love those fluttering scapulars on the back of the near wing :)
Wonderful timing Glenn and I love the determined look on his face with superb eye contact. The slight wing blur really adds to the feeling of motion. Beautiful capture !!
