    Default 2 Greater yellowlegs

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Flying by at high tide in Wolfville Harbor, NS recently.

    D7000, 300 f/4 AF-S + 1.7TC. Auto-ISO at 800, 1/1600, f7.1. +0.7EV. Cropped top and bottom to remove extraneous water. 1 round of Noise-Ninja applied. The left hand one is starting to molt , but the right hand one is still pretty much in breeding plumage.

    Thanks for comments.

    Richard,
    This is awesome. Love that you have both sharp and in focus. I like the pano crop. Do you have a bit more room on the left?

    Nice to have them together in flight. Tough harsh light, but the exposure looks to be in check. I wish the right bird had a catchlight (and had its' wings been higher up that would have excellent). The pano comp works, but I'm guessing you rotated the image a bit and forgot to fill in the LLC after cropping?

    Hi Daniel,

    I did indeed rotate the image by 2 degrees clockwise, but I thought I had fixed all the corners. I didn't notice the retained straight line bottom left.

    Sharp with a good exposure. Bad luck on both wing positions. When?

    Hi Artie. 27 August at 12:04pm. Can you be a bit more specific about the wings - fully up or fully down?

    Thanks, Richard

    Thanks Richard. Both birds are surely adults in varying stages of molt. Either fully up or fully down are my two favorites wing positions. One of each here would have been great.
