    Default Splish Splash I Was Taking a Bath

    I made this image last weekend while out with my dad and Philip Pietri. Everyone knows I enjoy a low, personal perspective. I like this image because the wing position is unique to other bathing images I've seen or made. I don't typically mash the shutter button, but when photographing a bird bathing getting 8fps with the D300 can capture some interesting wing positions.

    Shooting Solution
    Nikon D300 | Sigma 500mm f/4.5 + Kenko 1.4X TC (700mm) | Manually focused
    Manual Exposure | 1/2000 @ f/6.3 | ISO 400 | Mongoose M2.3 on Gitzo 1440 legs

    All comments welcome and appreciated.

    Thanks for looking :)
