Afternoon Dove - another 75' closeup
Nov 21, 2018 22:13:37 #
Eurasian Collared Dove on the old swing set play house in late afternoon sun. To the necked eye this bird was more or less a black outline, some warm parts on the right side (west side) from the afternoon sun. So I used fill flash at a range of about 75 feet.
The sky was an off white overcast haze so I changed it to blue.
80D, Tamron 150-600 G2 @ 600, 1/250 @ f/8.0, ISO 200 off tripod Extreme crop to fill the frame in this edit of the image
so it is getting very grainy looking if you get too close when viewing.
Nothing really special about this dove except it was the first bird to return after a hawk cruised over.

I appreciate the setup info on the pic. I particularly like the glint in its eye. Thanks for posting.

Jerry, another awesome use of your flash. I am not sure if my Canon 580EX can reach that far but I will give it a try. I do own a flash extender if I need it.

Thanks
I am using a Yongnuo yn600 - pretty much a clone of the Canon 600.

Beautiful shot, Jerry! I like how the light shines through his eye.
