Black Grouse

Gallery: Regional: UKNPPosted May 9, 2011203 views18 comments

With all the superb Black Grouse images that have been posted recently, I thought I'd post a portrait of this cracking bird.

1/100th @ f5.6 -2/3rds iso1250 ( FF with touch off of the left and a sliver of canvas added to the top ) Please view the large version.

Thanks for the feedback on my Hare shot and thanks for looking.

There are a few more Black Grouse shots on my blog if anyone cares to take a look

Great shot Andy. I love the colors and the way the red stands out against the black. Pretty bird!

Very nice, Andy. Great detail, exposure and colors. Was it raining when you made the image?

Thanks for the feedback guys

Hi Keith, it had just stopped raining when the picture was taken and I think the water droplets add an extra element to the shot.

Wonderful portrait, with the raindrops a real bonus. Reminds me of a ward sister I once worked for
