Turkey Vulture

I have been trying to get a good banking TV shot with a non-sky BG but so far have been out of luck, they prefer to glide when flying low and only bank when there are high up :( I will keep waiting until one does a full bank. for now here is what I have :D



5D2 500 f/4 + 1.4X TC, f/5.6 1/1000sec ISO 400.

Arash, Not a bad shot but if it not what you are looking for then you will never be happy. I think the dual tone BG is distracting which is a pity as the bird is nicely exposed and sharp and the BGs OOF.

Keep trying, because from your other posts you WILL succeed.

Hi Arash
I like the angle and detail of the bird in this shot and also I like the bushes at the bottom
as they give the bird place, I also like that the bushes don't go edge to edge. I also find the horizon a bit disturbing but still it is a great photo.

Hi Arash, good detail,placement of subject,lighting and exposure. The only thing I have a problem with is the horizon line cutting through the bird.

Tough birds to nail Arash I go after them all the time and its difficult having one sharp and having detail .. not sure why !! Only the line intersecting detracts here !! Nice capture !! ... love those 5D files !!!

Hi Arash - tough crowd ;)

Agree about the horizon line - but well exposed and loads of detail and like the Evil one!!!
