Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch |
Subject: Greater Roadrunner (Geococcyx
californianus)
Place: Bosque del Apache NWR, New Mexico, USA
Date: November 2002
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8, monopod from car
window
Film: Fujichrome Sensia 100
Exposure: Aperture priority matrix metered
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 80% of frame
Commentary: This year's cooperative roadrunner was along the
west leg of the Marsh Loop. It allowed so close of an approach with
our car that I removed the 2x converter I normally use and shot with
just the 300 mm lens. I like the side lighting and the perky stance
of this agressive bird.
