Spoonie

[Nancy A Elwood]

I was out at Merritt Island yesterday where there was a fair bit of activity. This roseate spoonbill gave me some nice photo opportunities atop this greenery. Taken with the Nikon D300 and Nikon 500 f/4, f/7.1, iso 640, 1/1000 attached to The Quick Action Harness.

Nancy:

A particularly handsome spoonie, pretty much peak color to my eye.

Sharp, well exposed. Nice to see him/her in a tree with clean background.

Did you use flash here?

Cheers

Randy

Randy thanks! No I did not use flash. The light was just about perfect, just slight thin layer over the sun.

Nancy, Beautiful pose and gorgeous lighting and wing details. I like the inclusion of the habitat.

Hi Nancy, it was nice to meet you at Gatorland! Your Spoonie is lovely in that soft light, great detail and I like the inclusion of the habitat. I worked at getting a similar image while in Florida but never got all the elements together just right, I guess that means I'll have to come back next year.:)
