    Default Magnificent Frigatebird

    I had the pleasure to join James Shadle on his boat and we went to an island where literally hundreds of Frigatebirds spend the summer months. If you get a chance, I would highly recommend going there, it is an impressive sight and provides great photography opportunities.

    If I'm not mistaken then this is a juvenile bird, I processed it on my laptop and hope it looks fine. I'm going to reprocess it on my large desktop when I get home.



    1D4, 500f4, 1.4x, 1/1250s, f/7.1, ISO 400, manual exposure

    I like the diagonal comp and overall sharpness, Axel. Also, good detail in both the darks and whites. Well done.

    You really pulled out all the details in the blacks and didn't get the whites toasted on the head and the chest. For me it is stunning, Axel. Hats off.

    Fantastic flight shot with perfect exposure and great wing pose. I like the diagonal line of the wings.
