Slavonian Grebe
Roll on late summer evenings eh - it's been grey and wet seemingly forever here (couldn't get out when the sun finally shone on Saturday either!) so as a new years resolution I'm having a claearout of some unprocessed stuff from last couple of years - and found this very late evening Slavonian Grebe silhouette from an Icelandic Summer!

1ds Mk2
500mm
1/1000 f5.6
ISO400

Wish I had some unprocessed stuff like this. I like everything about it.

Very nice and different. Its this sort of image that transends the boundary between photography as a recording medium (objective and mechanistic) and that of an art form (subjective and empirical). Kudos. Hope to be back there this summer. :toast: :toast:
