High Key Harrier

[D. Robert Franz]

Another image where the 7d focused amazingly well in tough conditions. Snow was falling and the contrast was low. I had no trouble at all with this flyby..

Dale you are killing me with these images, the bald eagle and now this harrier. I cannot get these guys with sunshine! Of course we would like the head in the clear, but hey we would like to win the lotto too:D. Glad your new equipment is working so well for you. Congrats!!

Very nice Dale,

I like the talons against the white BKGR. The conditions have tested the AF system and you have done very well.

Love those snow flakes against the harrier's body --

Very nice high key exposure, detail is nice too, tail area has a bit of grain and wish for better wing position.

I like this a lot. The white BG is great here. The snow flakes make it even better.

Beautiful capture, Dale and I know how hard focus can be when snow is falling, Love that bird, just got my frsit chance at him a couple of weeks ago.
Glad the camera is working for you :)

Sounds like the camera had an easy time focussing!! I like the pose, and the high-key element to the image. Was +1 EC enough? The noise suggests you may have had to up the exposure during post-processing...
