Good portrait of a pheasant

 

[ringyneck]

Fantastic colours and detail....maybe a bit too close to get the dof required.Lost the exposure a bit on the edges of the range but I still like him.

Well it is exactly as per title Trev Lovely catch, the blown whites is the one thing that stands out to me if anything.

Thanks Keith. Yes, I did lose it at both ends, the conditions we not good with mist and low light Any smaller aperture and I would have been using bulb . No excuses though, I got it wrong but still liked the picture

Cheers Rich, I agree and commented on this to Keith. Out of interest, I was using 1600 ISO, 1/100 at f/5.6, there wasnt a lot of movement I could make in the settings due to the light. Later on I went up to 3200 ISO.

Hi Trev......Didn't mean to be so harsh...he's not that far off ...I know the feeling as I had exactly the same thing with this one.

Keith...hope it's O.K. to put a shot on your thread.
