Brant low-profile

Gallery: AvianPosted April 29, 201363 views3 comments

Taking to heart some comments about the benefits of getting down in the sand I took this shot, and like the result of the wave action in the background.

Nikon D7000, Nikon 300mm
Shutter 1/640, F/5, ISO 100

100% of frame - uncropped no adjustments except to level the frame

Thanks
Iain

Nice angle and good comp with a great background, bird does look a bit out of focus but you had a very good plan for the capture.

The low angle helps the shot a lot. But the bird is a bit soft and there's a surprising amount of noise in the darker colors in the background, especially for your gear. Are you shooting in JPEG? Might be JPEG artifacts...

Thanks for the comments.
The background does appear noisy here and th ebird is soft. It was shot in RAW and when I look at the original file the bird is sharp and the background is good. I may be doing something in the conversion process that degraded the image.
