Horned Lark

Gallery: AvianPosted June 21, 201813,299 views3 comments

Another one from up on Red Knot Hill. This Horned Lark was moderately accommodating, just going about its business and letting me approach within a fairly reasonable distance. When it perched on this rock I was able to get a good angle by getting down low.

7Dii, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600 mm, hand held lying down, f/8, 1/4000, iso 1000, aperture priority, pattern metering, -2/3 EV. Processed in LR & PS CC. Cropped to 7.6 MP. Taken at 9:28 am on June 7th.

Your comments and critiques are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Great background, head turn and lighting here Dennis, I would crop about half of the foreground rock off of the bottom. With that camera I would have dropped the iso down a bit considering how much speed you had. devil
