First Blood

Gallery: Regional: UKNPPosted July 15, 2011256 views9 comments

Little Ringed Plovers
First blood at my new wader pool. With the rain forecast though there won't be so much mud by tuesday.
Sat 5 hours for this. I kept the birds quite small in the frame to get added depth for the two. Did some singles at full throttle.
Difficult crop with the two birds.
D7000 Sigma 50-500
400 ISO 320th @ f11
60% 0f frame.

levels/ CZM sharpen
Histogram Paint Shop Pro.
Cheers

PS
You know my views on reflections but I had to have 'em on this one !!!

Looks good John nice crop and great reflections, really like it. (Only thing that could have improved it would be a lot of mush in the foreground

)

Is there anything on the British list that doesn't inhabit your garden John? Really nice shot.

This is on a private site about 20 miles away. The limit of my photographic expeditions these days !!

Thanks all
Mike - Absolutely ! Strangely I reckoned I could get away with this because the subjects were small in the frame and I did'nt have to chop them at all.

Well remembered of you- proves someone reads what I say
