Eiders
Saturday we were out on an Audubon bird walk when the eiders that were in front of us on a pond decided to fly to the ocean. I missed the first ones because I was using my binoculars, but the the next few groups coming by. Nikon D300s Sigma 150-500
150-500mm @ 500mm
750mm (in 35mm film)
1/2000 sec, f/6.3
Mode: Manual
Metering: Multi-segment
ISO: 400
AF mode: AF-C
White balance: AUTO
Flash: Off
Nice to have male and female in the frame. I wish the male's far wing were higher up and I would tone down the highlights more.
Thanks Axel for your comments I toned down the highlights. of the series I captured of the eiders flying I like this one the best since they were coming toward me. Other have them in front with the wings down. Here is the re-post
