High flyers

Gallery: AvianPosted September 29, 2012142 views4 comments

I spotted this pair of turkey vultures high overhead. I only had a 250mm lens with me as I was working on some landscape scenes. Could not pass up a couple of shots anyway. Decided to try a pan composition but not sure how it works. Any comments will be appreciated.

John, I like "small in the frame", but this is too much for me.

Nice try, but too much sky and not enough bird.

Hi John. I don't think this particular image works either. The size is part of the issue. The other is exposure. Shooting a dark subject against a lighter background requires positive exposure compensation to get details in the subject. You might be able to help with post processing. I also wish for better, more interesting, positions for the birds. Always great to experiment. Thanks for posting.

Thanks guys for your comments. I was not sure about this photo, which is why I posted it. I think this is one of those situations where since I experienced it, it means more to me. I do wish I had taken a longer lense with me!
