Canon EOS 1D MKII, 600mm f4, 1.4x conv, G1321, G1548, f11, 1/400, ISO 400, RAW, RSE, CS2.

Hi All,

This is the next sequence from my previous post. Not sure which one I like best. I want to build a picture of the character of these little birds, to me they are funny, erratic and always on the move, so hope over their breeding season to show all of their characteristics and behaviour.

This will be a side project whilst getting images of/watching Barn Owl and Kingfisher

All comments welcome

Regards

Rob

PS Am I the only person still using Raw Shooter Essentials

another very nice Coot image Rob, excellent exposure. I look forward to seeing more on this theme from you.

I'm not a RSE user but I'm sure there's still a few out there

Hi Rob,
great pic from these vivid birds. Congratulation!
Yes I work with RSE and I feel fine.
The only thing I miss is: I cannot compare 2 pics at the same time.
Raw Shooter Premium unfortunately is no longer available.
And yes I know where to find a pair of Coot. And I try to get
good pics for weeks.

Have fun

HI Rob,

I am intrigued about your plans for this series.

I will be keeping an eye out for your upcoming posts!

This is a nice capture! No nits from me!

Nicely exposed with a bit of action going on for added interest.
