Black-winged Stilt, Himantopus himantopus, June 2016

I find it is easy to shoot with mono , when raw files imported to LR, if U hve no special presets; it automatically displays the full color spectrum, coz files are raw.

I choose to get the output in full color in this instance. fascinating to capture these multiple layers of shadows.

 

 

Same backdrop from previous image in full color.

 

Nikon Neutral, sRGB , NEF lossless compression , jpeg converted with LR.

 

@500mm, F/10, 1/400. ISO800 - D300s + Nikkor 200-500 F/5.6
