Reddish Egret and a lucky fish
40D & 500 f/4L IS, f/5.6, 1/2000, ISO 250 - Fish is overexposed, the head is a little bit out of focus in the larger version, f/5.6 of the 500 is shallower than f/5.6 of my 400. Thanks for viewing and commenting.
Nate,
Nate all I have to say is wow! That is an amazing shot.
Joel
I'll second that! Fantastic light...great capture!
Nate,
Another shot worthy of the cover of Nat Geo.
I noticed your ISO @ 250. Did you know that ISO 320 is faster and cleaner on the 40D? Canon 40D Dark Noise Histograms(page down to noise graph) When using my 40D, I find 160, 320, and 640 yield the best results. The compromise is 1/3 ev of dynamic range overhead. Instead of being able torecover 1.3 ev of blown highlights in raw processing you'll only be able to pull down 1.0. Worth it to me for a cleaner image. If you already know all of this...please ignore me for there's nothing more I can offer that could add any more quality to this already exemplary work.
Nate, that is just fantastic. You have really captured the action. Your images always amaze me. Please continue to share!!!
Dave.
