Snow bunting
D7000 300mm f4 + TC14e ISO 320 1/640s at f6.3 handheld sat on a picnic bench.

Taken today at the Cairngorms ski centre car park. They are very confiding here and will come up to you if you put some food out. Never stay in one place for long though.

many thanks for the comments on my last post. All C+C warmly welcomed.

Nick. :wavey:

Super little birds these - perhaps the subject could do with a little lightening, but otherwise nice to see one in the snow. :toast:

Nick

IMHO these hand held forgive the term grab shots are the most difficult to pull off. One thing I do have some knowledge of as they form the greater part of my images.

You have managed to succeed with this image light and background subject all contribute to a fine I image.

Very nice image indeed, Nick. This cannot be an easy exposure to have got right, but you have done excellently in my opinion.
