This is another image shot on an Arthur Morris/Birds-as-Art IPT at JBWR. This bird flew into the south east corner of the East Pond, and it initially was too far away for me. Since I knew that these birds are very skittish, I made sure I approached slowly and carefully so that the bird would be a bit larger in the frame without scaring it away; I then oriented myself so that the sun was directly behind me (you know, "Point your shadow at the bird!!!"). When the bird started preening I knew that I my approach was successful as I did not make it weary. I then relaxed as well, settled my face into the mud and shot several images. When it finished preening it stretched its wings and the I shot this image. Boy what fun this was.
EOS3, 500f/4LIS, 2XTCII, 25MM of Extension, Walt Anderson Ground Pod, Evaluative metering at +1/3. Please comment on any aspect of this image. Thanks. |
