Wide Angle Pheasant
My last upload before the computer is packed up and sent off to its new owner.
A wide shot in decent evening light . Amazing how difficult it is to get a shot without a tree growing out of the head.
This is one that worked out, but alas none would display anywhere near the camera, even though it was placed where this one displayed regularly.

1D3
17-40 at 19mm
ISO400
1/100th
f5.6

What a great POV and great light too John, from your explaination I take this was done via a trigger / remote?

Top class image imo :toast:

Hi John,

Super shot, fantastic colour throughout and as you say, the head positioned nicely between the bg trees.

Cheers,

Lewis.
