This week I made a special sojourn to Osceola County to locate and photograph a Caracara; Jim Neiger has made me jealous.
While on my way to Overstreet Landing, I noticed this CC perched on a dead snag. Setting up shop from my van across the street, I photographed the CC using my 500mm with a 2x converter. I did not use flash as the last time out and in a similar situation, my first flash shot scared the bird and off it flew. I ended up with a high-contrast image that took some work to lower the highlights, recover the shadows and get the colors to what I remember them as. During the 50 minutes that I photographed the CC I was witness to 9 really glorious stretches. I think this was the best of all the positions I captured.  Shooting Details Canon 1DMKII 1000mm (500mm w/2x converter) Canon IS Lens 1/640 sec, f/10 Mode: Av Metering: Evaluative Exp comp: -2/3 ISO: 800 (needed to get shutter speed up for f/10) AF mode: One-shot AF Comments welcomed. |

Great light!!! I love the pose, a little head turn would make this one a super shot. A bit tight for me.
