p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Surly Northern Flicker

Just a northern flicker I managed to sneak up on. I liked the eye squint, as if he was unimpressed with my taking his picture. As soon as the first image snapped, he immediately turned and gave me his full attention. Can't blame him, that D800 shutter is not too subtle.

"You better not be taking my picture!"

"How dare you"

Super feather details Chad. I wonder about the exposure of the highlights, particular in the second

Thanks for the comments and suggestion on the highlights. I played with the exposure and highlights to try and tone it down. Still a little blown out, but the detail did start the show up. I am really loving the sigma 150-600 sport, only had it for a couple months now. Matched with the D800e it captures the feather details pretty good. Prior to that I was using a 70-200F4 and although that is a nice lens, the lack of reach a pain.

Cheers

Nice low-level portraits, Chad. I don't often see these of the Flicker so kudos to you!

Thanks for posting.
