Eye Level Fish Finder

[Bill Foxworthy]

Wood Stork fishing at low tide
Canon 40D. 400 f/5.6L
ISO 500, f/20, 1/250 sec
Not the best image but I sort of liked it. :D AV mode and forget my f/20 setting but liked the detail anyway. Haven't been on in a few days so let me have it, good, bad, & ugly! :)

The whites look real good too me. I kinda like the look of the water that comes from f20 with the exception of the upper right corner. It looks odd to me. A little noise, maybe some post processing in that area?

I like the idea of catching the bird fishing and the "eye level fish finder" title is a sure fit. Did you happen to get any where the head / bill were less submerged? Either on the way down or up to show a bit more of the bill would be great I think,

What Jim said, exactly.

The whites look great. If you can catch the WS with more of the beak exposed but the last third underwater, I think it will be more dramatic.

Hi Jim, thanks for the comment. I have some good images today but the ones (& morsels in mouth) with the beak out were most fuzzy because of the f/20 setting. Out of 338 images this am I lost about 170 being blurred. Some were in great low light and beautiful but that happens. I know better than not catching my setting but another senior moment probably cost me some great images. :( Snowys, tri colors, night herons, wood storks, great blues, etc. all deleted. :) I am heading back out but tides are now high and all is lost probably. :)
