Backlight
Two days, 1200 images, 20 minutes of video, and I'm back. I'll be showing bird shots until Christmas!
I like the warm reflection on the bird from the cornfield below. I got a whole series of shots of this bird as it glided by about 90 feet away.
Nikon D800E
80-400 f/4.5-5.6 at 370
f/8 at 1/2000
ISO 400
Cropped about half-size
Adjacent sky added as background
(Handheld, I might add.)
There's a fair amount of detail when seen in Original size. Not the best lens (and certainly the smallest out there among the 700's), but it does an OK job.
OH, I forgot to say that I took this shot at the Ladd Gordon Waterfowl Complex at Bernardo, NM.
