| Northern Pintail, hen swimming, Bosque Del Apache, NWR, NM. Image Copyright 2009: Arthur Morris/BIRDS AS ART. Canon 800mm f/5.6L IS lens with the EOS-1D Mark III on the Mongoose M3.5 atop the Gitzo 3530LS CF tripod. ISO 400. Evaluative metering +2/3 stop: 1/200 sec. at f/10. Most folks do not realize that you can get some nice reflections and killer backgrounds by photographing from the far right-hand end of the flight deck just after the sun has come up. When the main impoundment has high water levels and is clear of vegetation as it was this year, the ducks are constanly swimming back and forth right down sun angle. |

| Nine Ducks on Cloudy Morning, Bosque Del Apache, NWR, NM. Image Copyright 2009: Arthur Morris/BIRDS AS ART. Canon 24-105mm lens handheld at 28mm with the EOS-1D Mark III. ISO 400. Evaluative metering +1/3 stop: 1/125 sec. at f/22. Many folks are turned off when conditions are not spectacular. “Gray clouds instead of red and orange and yellow…. Nine swimming ducks instead of 10,000 geese in flight…. Jeez, what luck. Things are lousy.” Good photographers think more in terms of making soup from a stone. And so should you. Just open your eyes, note the things that interest you, see the patterns, select the best tool (lens) for the job, and get to work making pleasing, effective images. |
