My 10,000th post!!
Just back from a 5 week stay in SW Florida. This is my 6th year going to Florida in the spring and I have to say that every year it seems like there are less and less birds at "the usual haunts". The birds also seem to be behind in their breeding colors. Fort DeSoto and Alafia Banks were particularly quiet. There are still lots of opportunities though!
Taken 30 minutes before sunset. Would have liked a bit more room in front of the godwit but it is what it is!
Canon 1 DX
600mm and 1.4 X
ISO 400 SS 1/3200 F 5.6
Almost full frame with a bit off the left and bottom.
Image was underexposed by 1/2 stop otherwise processed in LR with usual sliders, NR and levels in Photoshop and USM to JPEG.
Comments and critiques always appreciated and learned from with thanks!
I will comment on other images tomorrow so I can enjoy the 10,000 on my thumbnail for a day or so!
