    Default Galapagos: Marine Iguana

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Despite their somewhat fearsome, prehistoric appearance Marine Iguanas are strictly vegetarians. Here one is feeding on seaweed at low tide. This image was createdat Punta Espinzoa, Fernandina with the Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS lens, the 1.4X II TC, and the EOS-1D MIV. ISO 800. Evaluative metering -1/3 stop: 1/250 sec. at f/10.

    Very nice image Artie. Great timing and exposure. Flash shadow did not bother me much.

    Thanks Sid. That's sun shadow :) Flash with wildlife is not permitted in the Galapagos.

    Arite,

    My apologies. I thought it was from flash. Thanks for the info.

    No sweat. The sun was quite low in the sky.

    Artie,

    Did you try a reverse s-curve on this one. Even with the low sun, it appears high in contrast too me.

    I might be tempted to crop this a little closer, eliminating the tail, say just to the left of the leg.
