Got a load of nice Pelican shots yesterday, and a feww Egrets as well. Posted a few of the Pelican shots in POTW, here are some more with some Egret shots as well.
As always, comments and critiques welcome, and I hope you like them.
Shot with a Lentar 90-230 lens, usually zoomed to 230 but a few are in the 180-200 range, all at f11, mostly 1/500 and a few at 1/250 I think. (I'd have to check the EXIF data, I'm too lazy to keep notes) The Lentar really impressed me, it makes my Rokinon 75-300 look like a cheap imitation of a lens. Comparing some of these shots to the Pelican shots from a few days ago with the Rokinon I find there's no comparison, the Lentar blows the Rokinon away hands down.
Very little editing here, mostly crop and resize. One was overexposed, adjusted the gamma, otherwise no editing, these are just what came off the camera.
OK I'll shut up and post some pictures...
Oh yeah, some of these may also be cross posted in the POTW thread...and I went ahead and posted the full size for once, see how it works. Let me know if you'd rather have a smaller one linked to the full version...
A Nice Pair Three of A Kind Hmmmm...What's He Doing Down There? No, I won't Pose the Way You Want I'm Gonna Bail
Backlit Egret just about to jump, I had to adjust the Gamma on this one, it was overexposed a bit.
Told You
Same Egret, I reset the exposure before he took off, but barely...
He's Just showing Off, I can Fly Too
Enjoy...
