Working on some of my Fla tour images and came upon this one off of Capt. Shadle's boat. Looking forward to 2 days of Spoonies with him on next year tour! I generally prefer the landing or take-off images.....but this fly over had some appeal to me. I had to control myself with the crop tool here as I know how much you all appreciate ;) the tight crops!
Canon 1D Mark lll with the Sigma 300-800 at 610 mm for 1/4000 sec. at f7.1 and ISO 640. 3 degree rotation to aid comp and then crop clean up. I did run noise ninja on sky BG....not sure it was necessary.
Roman, I agree w/ HA and you could probably lighten a bit. Very nice sharpness and wingspread. I love the colors you got on the bird and the BG is lovely. Details on the underwings are fantastic. Love the dangling feet too!
Nice pose, underwing view, and clean BG. A nice tight Roman crop! I agree with the others about lightening the underside, and the awkward HA. Looks like there is a halo around the feet.
Roman, nice catch with this guy. I don't mind the HA either, it gives you a whole other perspective on his look. I agree with lightening him up some. Congrats
