Dunlin
My first image of a Dunlin. Taken at Salthouse in Norfolk a couple fo weekends ago. Light was poor and I used fill here.

Not to everyones taste due to front pose and lack of DOF, but thought I'd post anyway

I have some more images and a blog of my latest visit here on my website if anyone's interested.

techs:
1d2, 500/4is + 1.4x, ISO 400, 1/500th, f5.6, -0.33, beanbag, IS turned off :rolleyes: -1.67 fill flash

Fill amount looks spot-on Graeme :toast:

I really like the BT image on your blog - nice action shot, though I'm struggling to see exactly what it is the BT's wrestling with :biggrin:

I like it as well. Sometimes I think you can get really nice images in low light .Now to look at your blog.

Hi Graeme nice capture of the Dunlin and good FF.Some of your pics in your Blog are good and I liked the shot of the Pier with the water very slow. Your White Snow Bunting is a Male in winter plumage. :toast:

Hello Greame.
I like the front pose and the low light with fill flash as work really well. Nice detail just were it needs to be. A good shot and I like it. :wavey:

That's a really nice image, Graeme. I don't even own a flash because I think the resulting images usually look too artificial - but this shot works really well. Time for me to have a re-think and dust off the credit card!

Lovely image - I think that the comments on fill-flash have been made - very subtle. Excellent blog page and web-site too.
