Took this shot last august during the big wildfires in S. California. The light had an odd orange cast for about a month. The bird has it's nictitating membrane fully up. Any merit in this shot or recover the disk space?
Technical bits
Nikon D80
Nikon 80-200mm 1:2.8 (at 200 mm)
ISO 400 f/5.0 1/1000sec
rotated and cropped from the top (didn't get all of the tail in the frame :()
Nice job of getting the peak of the action and a great head angle, but with the tail clipped and the motion blur of the head, this one goes into the can for me. Do you know what it caught?
later and love, artie
