interesting bird! welcome to BPN, Alfredo!
nicely exposed, seems the light was against you
was it possible to get a lower angle?
Why doesnt it have a thumbnail?
im using the BNP album feature to host the image :S
Thank you,Originally Posted by Morkel Erasmus
The light was not against me, it was about noon but kinda overcast, and i wanted to get a lower angle but as soon as i put a foot out of the car, the caracara was gone :(
Nice look-back pose, Alfredo. Exposure is good considering harsh side light. Agree that lower angle would help. Since the bird wasn't moving, I'm wondering if you had shot this at f/5.6 and 1/320 sec, the shallower DOF would help blur the BG.
Thank you Keith,
i think the 70-300VR @300 and f5.6 is pretty soft, and i wanted a sharp image. that is not going to be a problem anymore as i now have a 300mm f4 AF-S :D
and 1 question.
if i had the shot at f8 and 1/640, and stept down to f5.6 the ss shouldnt be 1/1200 instead of 1/320 as you said???
Yes, I should have said 1/1200 sec, not 1/320 sec. Oops...
Thank you, i was getting confused ;)
