Red-tailed Hawk
Here's another flight shot from Cachuma Lake. Cropped off the left side and added a more interesting sky, this one rendered by PS. Did the usual NN on bg and selective sharpening and color/tone on the hawk. This was the day I learned to NOT use spot metering! I've learned a lot since that trip...
50D, EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS + 1.4x @ 280mm
Aperture priority, f/7.1@1/1000, spot metering on bird (an experiment!) EC 0 ISO 200
AI Servo autofocus, HH no flash
