American Kestrel encore

Fabs

She really loves to pose, Green Cay Wetlands, Delray Beach, Fl
Caono 1d2, 600/4 plus 2X, manual exposure, fill flash

Thanks for your comments!

Why is the background completely white?

Lovely fan pose.

On a cloudy day, the sky is light grey, when you overexpose to get the subject in fair exposure, the sky becomes almost pure white, becoming a high key image. Thanks!

Nice pose and lighting!

Great shot of a smaller raptor, with a lens combination that requires very skillful technique.

Harry, I am beginning to think my lenses are way too short after all:D

I can't believe you've squeezed that kind of sharpness out of a 2x.

I love the shot. The lighting on the bird is wonderful, very arresting. And it's a great pose.

Very nice. Did you use a gadget to throw your flash that far?

Love your Kestral shots Fabs, I think you have her trained and she does tricks for you.

Gale

Very pretty

Fabs

Yes, I used the Better Beamer on the flash, don't remember if I had it full blast or -1 EV

Thanks all!!!
