White Arse !!
Canon EOS 1D MKII, 600mm non IS f4, 1.4 conv, @f6.3, 1/320, ISO 400, RAW, RSE, CS2, Bean Bag.

Hi All,

I got a message from a friend that there were at least fifteen Wheatear's on a field on my local Industrial Estate, being at work I could'nt get up to have a look, but at 5.30pm went there in a rain shower, searched the field with the lens and was gobsmacked at how many there were, I counted at least 50, so started snapping away, pleased I did because there's only been around eight on there all day today.

All comments welcome

Regards

Rob

Nice one Rob, you got pretty close by the look of this. :toast:

I heard today there'd been a dozen or so seen in the Brecks too!

A fine portrait Rob.The portrait format works well here and the low angle is great. :cool:

Hi Rob

Great all round shot but for me lacks critical sharpness!

Nice portrait but looks soft on my screen

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your comments, I think the softness comes from the crop , I did see it and like a fool thought that no one else would :rolleyes: , but there, goes to show the expertise of all you guys :smile:

Regards

Rob
