The light was fading fast, A black rain cloud was fast covering the sky.The sun light was a glowing yellow. I was sitting by the riverside and reviewing my not so very good shoot. This bird was happily wading across the water at its leisure. The light just enough to get a fairly decent shot.
Good shot given the light limitations. It would have been a great capture if the swan had swam a couple of inches more… Can you also provide some technical details like shutter speed, aperture, ETC…
ReplyDeleteHi ARVE,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. The EXIF info as requested
Nikon D80

Focal Length: 400mm
Exposure Mode: Shutter Priority
Metering Mode: Multi-Pattern
1/800 sec - F/5.6

At the top end of the zoom could not open up the aperture more. Did not use exposure compensation to add in more light. Had ti use a fast shutter to freeze the bird as it was and the water.
