Going for the black,low key look again - I know it's not to everyones' tastes and it's not looking its best at this small size so there's a bigger version here http://www.wildlifeinpixels.com/img/DSC3602alg.jpg

Should have gone for a higher shutter speed with hindsight.

D300
Sig 300-800
ISO 400
1/1250 @ f10 - manual exposure -4.7ev - and you wonder why you can't sometimes hang on to those highlights :eek:

PP Bibble Pro + CS3

Thanks for looking :toast: :toast:

I like it Andy. Nicely done. I see this behaviour all the time and it's not just Grebes that do this. It's any bird when I've just got within shooting range of them :biggrin:

Large one looks great :toast:
