BIRDS OF PREY Recap – May 26, 2013
Eagle Eyes – D600 at 500mm, F6.3, 1/2500s, ISO400, by Les Palenik
Setting Up – by Harvey Beitchman
For a change, we had a very nice sunny day with a lot of light and pleasant temperatures, but around the noon the light got quite challenging for close-up portraits. A fill-in flash helped considerably to eliminate harsh shadows and green colour cast as reflected from the surrounding foliage.
