Canon T2i, 400mm f/5.6, iso 400, 1/800, handheld.
I shot these images in South Texas at my home, It's the first turkey I've seen in the 7 years I've lived there. I heard him gobble early this morning so I went inside and grabbed my slate call and a camo jacket and headed into the brush. It took about 15 minutes and he was on top of me and was kind enough to let me snap off about a dozen shots before decided I didn't look as sexy as he had hoped.
I did very little in post. The first image is very slightly cropped on the left to center the bird in the frame, the second image is full sized and the 3rd was a portrait shot that was cropped off the top, bottom and right side. On both I used my LR adjustment brush to reduce the over exposed head about 1 stop and very slightly lightened the underexposed lower chest.
I'm trying to decide if I should crop more off the sides on the first two or leave as-is to show more of his natural habitat. The third I'm thinking about adding canvas behind the bird but not sure if it's necessary.
Thanks for your input
