Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch |
Subject: Hooded Merganser (Lophodytes
cucullatus)
Place: Phoenix, AZ, USA
Date: December 2002
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6),
tripod
Film: Fuji Sensia 100
Exposure: Aperture priority matrix metered
Scan: Minolta Dimage, modest cropping for web presentation
Commentary: Finding this species in Arizona is a bit of a
challenge; finding one locally that allows close viewing is amazing.
This bird showed up in November and has gradually acclimated to park
visitors. Although not as dramatic as the adults, I still find it an
interesting subject and am glad to get some decent shots of it in my
files.
