Little Grebe
Tachybaptus ruficollis

Hi everyone, hope you are all well.

Apologies for my lack of contribution, full time work has really been taking it's toll!

Here's a Little Grebe from my local nature reserve early one misty morning.

D300s, 500mm f4 lens
1/250 sec @ f8, 400ISO
Tripod
Tweak to levels, straighten, and sharpen for web.

C and C most welcome, thanks for looking! :wavey:

It may be small in the frame, but this is absolutely gorgeous in my opinion. Full of atmosphere and the sort of shot you could live with on the wall for years.

Evening, stunning environmental shot. Loving the misty ethereal feel to this. I think it would be nice to see a lot more of this type of shot on this forum. The lighting looks absolutely peachy!
