Another Black-Necked Stilt in Flight

Hikin' Mike

I was able to get a few more captures yesterday of this Black-Necked Stilt in flight...no butt-shots this time! :ivar


Canon 5D, 300mm f/4L IS, 1.4x, HH
ISO 400, 1/1600, f/8

Very nice capture Mike. You needed to do an EV adjustment of -1/3 or 2/3rds of a stop. The belly of your subject is a tad blown.

I'll look into it, but it looks fine on my monitor and at full size. Thanks for looking!

Here's a look at the histogram


The bump on the far right is the under belly. The pic does look good though and stilts are one of the toughest exposures you'll get.

Nice body extension.

You're right, how's that?
