These takes are wonderful Karl. Love the low angle approach. You worked hard and it paid dividends.

A bit of luck that these two were friendly Khai, I'm not used to many water species birds allowing us to be so close around here. Thanks and glad you liked them buddy!

It was interesting to see the files as different areas of the pond had much different looks from the reflections they carried. Extremely important element IMHO

1/500s worked well in #1 giving a nice little bit of wing-blur and water droplet-blur too. I definitely think you can get lower though.

#2 is terrific... love the contrast of the beautiful colors of the HG against the light water... super duper Karl. I keep wanting to give it some CW rotation though.

Great job on one of my favorite birds buddy... I need to get out to BC
...Show more

Yes I could have gotten a bit lower and maybe another outing will let me give it a try, a rather awkward one but worth a try
You are the master of the pond shots my friend, I was thinking of you when I shot these but somehow you always seem to have better light
I missed the leveling and tried to fix it late, will have to re-edit again though and thanks for the reinforcement of needing it!
Hope you have a great outing for your turn at the pond

Two lovely shots Karl although I see greater depth of color in the second one, maybe its flushed a bit because its has to paddle uphill
Cheers,

Love the Grebe's Karl. Well done and the capture of those red eyes are perfect. But what else is new?

Two winners Karl. Great job on the exposures. Manuél got them right. A great pose in 1, but 2 is my pick for the great detail - now if I could just look at it without tilting my head to the left... ~ Ron


Hmmm, does it help if you move your chair to the right of the screen and at an angle?

Thanks much Ron for you being you! All appreciated.............sort of

Awesome Karl, especially 2, sharp, sharp and the soft gradient background really makes the subject pop. Did you dig a hole in the ground and lay in it to get this angle

Mike

Thank you Mike, I think I need to get even lower
Take care
Karl
