Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch |
Subject: Ring-necked Duck (Aythya
collaris)
Place: Tempe, AZ, USA
Date: November 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, 80% of frame
Commentary: Although I prefer another
shot of this Ring-necked Duck, this image addresses the thngs
most often criticized in that version: the reflection isn't cropped;
the bird is less centered. I'm not as happy with the position of the
head or the look of water in this frame (although it isn't bad); nor
am I happy with the scan that hasn't held on to the detail in the
whites on the slide.
