The Flip

Gallery: AvianPosted October 20, 201585 views7 comments

Same bird as my last post, just a bit later. I really liked the flip of the wing and the resulting arc of water.

7Dii, 500mm f4 ISL + 1.4 TC, Jobu Gimbal on RRS legs, f/8, 1/3200, iso 1000, aperture priority, pattern metering, no compensation. Processed in LR5 & CS6. Cropped to 14.3 MP from the bottom and right side. Taken on July 8th at 8:56 am.

I appreciate your comments on the last Robin post and look forward to your input on this image.

Thanks,

Supercool pose ! Lovely colors as well in the BG. You may want to bring up the shadows a little, lighting up the Robin's chest a bit. But great as posted ! Cheers, Hans

Love the title. Looks like you said to the bird "now flip your wing" and he said well if I really must "ok, here goes". Gave me a good chuckle.

Pretty neat photo! It is great when a more common subject can provide such interesting photo opportunities. The only thing I see that might improve the photo is to crop more on the right side to remove the yellow plant, or clone out. It is a minor thing. Good catch of the action and expression! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Dennis I don't usually go for ultra low angle bird bathing shots but I like this one. The plants don,t bother me too much.

This is a fun action shot with a very 3D appearance, Dennis! I think the low angle works particularly well here. The exposure is just right also.
