Eager to Learn Spotlight image for 10/1/2010 Jon Saperia: Tree Swallow
Congratulations Jon Saperia for your image "Tree Swallow" being selected as the Eager to Learn Spotlight Image of the week ending 10/1/2010!!!
1. I have been reading/participating in the HA forum and now find few of my shots are within spec. For this (my second submission to ETL) I thought I would try one of the HA's that appear to be one of the OK angles (looking right down the barrel at the camera) to see where this needs fine tuning in addition to other comments about the photo.
Photo taken with Nikon D700, Nikon VR600mm F4/g with a 1.4 TC (equivalent of 850mm). Taken at f5.6 at 1/500 sec, in manual exposure mode with auto ISO mode on - ISO 900 and -0.7 EV set to deal with whites. No Flash, Metering mode was Matrix. Slow shutter was a deliberate choice so as not to raise ISO further. Taken from a blind, nothing removed, just cropped a couple background spots smoothed. Processed with Nikon Capture NX2 exported from PhotoMechanic.
