Cinnamon Teal

Cinnamon Teal
Southern, California

This was taken a few days ago as I liked the slight angle showing the upper wings and the slower shutter speed gave me the slight blur in the wings.
I added a small amount of canvas on top to open this up as its almost FF.

Nikon D300 AFS 600 F4 1.4 TC
F7.1 1/1000 ISO 500

Thanks For Looking

James:

Tremendous sense of speed here, between panning and wing blur.

Nicely captured.

Considering the fact that these guys are speeding little bullets this is quite a wonderful capture. Sharp with need with lots of motion-implying blur. Whew!

Hey Jim - Dizzying capture of this little rocket ship. A very unique shot of a teal species that I see very infrequently on my Missouri River hunts. Blue wings on the other hand........

[Bill Dix]

Great job to get sharp focus on the eye as this guy was moving quickly. And to catch him before he was past you. Nicely done, James.

Jim, You've recently posted some incredible waterfowl images, this one tops them all!

[Gerrie van Vuuren]

Pin sharp where it counts with a great sense of speed created by the wing blur. Like the angle of flight & BG.

[Ofer Levy]

Beautiful Jim! I love the colours and colours - awesome!

[Doug Brown]

Sharp where it needs to be, and I like the topside view of the blurred wings.
