Nina

doenoe · Dec 14, 2006

Nina is a long-legged buzzard at my internship place. This is the first time i shot her flying. There was alot of wind and she put up a great show. However, it was also cloudy. So i had to shoot with ISO800 and rather slow shutter speeds (about 320, with a 300mm) And the pics didnt turn out to good, rather grainy and these were the best i could get. But offcourse i will try this again when the weather is better (that rhymes hehe)
Anyways, here is Nina:

And a shot of Wing, a falcon.

Thanks for looking

The CA in #1 is EXTREMLY distracting. you might want to go into photoshop and try and fix that. What lens exactly were you using?

the color fringing on the branches is SO strong that it's making them purple!
