Melborne, Australia - 1D3, 500mm+1.4xTC, hand held, 1/2500, F7.1, ISO 500, manual exposure

Hi Jim, the BG needs another round of noise reduction and the bird lacks details (is this one a big crop?) but the Bg is outstanding and I like the action a lot. Very good exposure job but I think that this image has not your usual high quality standard :-)

I preety much agree with Juan's comment here. Still, nice pose and backside view. Congratulations!

It's a terrific pose Jim! I agree with Juan's observations regarding sharpness.

**Aidan Briggs** · 05-21-2009, 06:05 PM

Wonderful pose, exposure, and BG. Ditto Juan

Love the wing position and pose but the face looks like mush. I was wondering if you got this on Toho....

Super flight angle, and like the posture. Exposure looks good, but have to agree regarding the sharpness.

Did you make this image at the Werribee sewage farm?

Artie,

I was a long way from Toho. This image was made in Australia.

Yes. I went there with my friend from Melborne and some people from the local camera club. I taught a class on photographing BIF at the camera club the night before and we went to Werribee the next day for a in the field class.
