“Snack Time”

This little guy was up and about early one morning at Estero Beach, in Fort Myers Florida, looking for an early snack, just to keep him until lunch. He was painted with a Nikon D200, using a Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/4D IF-ED lens , and a Nikkor 1.4 T/C


Image solution:
focal length @ 765mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / in camera matrix metering / ISO @ 500 / 1/1650sec. - f/5.6 / white balance @ cloudy / AF - mode @ dynamic range, auto - continuous / color space @ sRGB /lighting solution - no speedlight, ambient light / exposure comp @ -0.7EV / tone comp @ +1 degree / hue adjustment @ +2 degrees / saturation factor @ +1 degrees / support platform - no tripod, hand held, flat on belly /

Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:

Love the quality of the light and the colours of the water in the BG Gus. Can't manufacture that light in Photoshop. Very beautiful.

Hi Gus - gorgeous light indeed - love the low angle and the composition - also like the placment of the feet (Hmmmmmm...)

Some of the whites look a tad hot on my screen - KNOW you better than that though!!!!!!!!

Love the light also and the low angle. Maybe just a tad tight in the frame?????
