Instead of running for it this one run to me expecting food, so I had to get my wide angle out and grab a shot. You can see I've become over lazy with the D3, its at ISO 6400 which is because I hadn't reduced the shutter speed from 1/800s, not necessary for hand holding my 12-24mm Tokina.

Cheers

Tim
D3, 12-24mm Tokina at 24mm, 1/800s at F/8, ISO 6400

Great enviro shot Tim... I do feel that it needs a slight mid tone and shadow uplift though if that is possible from the RAW... I guessing the DR is down to the high ISO used.

Interesting colouration on this bird. They seem to know when the season is over and they no longer neeed to be so shy, don't they?
