Marbled Godwit stretching its wings

Marbled Godwit - Limosa fedoa - stretching its wings.

 

"Unfortunately", this is a full frame shot. I was to close, or had "too much" lens, to capture a whole bird in the frame. I wish that Canon produced more lenses with a built-in teleconverter. With a simple flick of a switch, I would have been 240mm further away. On the positive side, when zoomed in at this 50 megapixel photo, detail is incredible :)

Photographer's problems :D

 

I provide detailed information on how to photograph at this location in my guide: www.greggard.com/location-guides/southwest-florida-bird-p...

 

Photograph captured with a Canon EOS 5DsR camera paired with a Canon 600mm f/4 IS II lens and 1.4x extender, at 840mm
