Do Shovelers get dizzy? They seem to go around in circles for hours often in the same location. So I have this idea of trying to get eye contact from both birds at the same time. This one actually turned out better than I expected because of the beak display. Unfortunately the light could have been a little better as the image seems somewhat flat.
What technical feedback would you like if any?
Any
What artistic feedback would you like if any?
Any
Any pertinent technical details:
Iso-800, 500 mm, F7 .1, 200th, handheld, D 500, 20% of full frame, DxO photo lab, Adobe camera raw, Topaz adjust, TK luminosity masks and sharpening action at 5%.
Very good, David. Quite artistic looking. I like the result of the tight framing. Shows how stuck in a rut we can get-I kept trying to get all of both birds in the frame when we were out today-now I’m asking myself why.
I think the flat light worked in your favor here as it really brings out the feather detail. Very good work.
Hi David,
I like this intimate look at the shoveler’s dabbling behavior. Nice look at both ducks’ eyes which is great. Nice to get both ducks sharp. Well done.
