Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch |
Subject: American Coot (Fulica
americana)
Place: Phoenix, AZ, USA
Date: October 2003
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8, TC20E (600/5.6),
tripod
Film: Sensia 100
Exposure: aperture priority matrix meter
Scan: Minolta Dimage & VueScan; 85% of frame
Commentary: Although not the most attractive of birds, and
certainly not the most exotic, they are still fun to photograph if
only for the exposure challenges. This could have used some fill
flash (or more fill - I can't recall if I was using it here) to open
up the dark plumage. But I still like it because the interesting feet
are prominently displayed.
