Hello,
A mixed bag from this weekend. We took a trip to Moreton Island and I managed to grab this opportunistic shot of a Kingfisher munching on a spider. I’ve included a full frame image to show the size of the Kingfisher in the frame. Taken with the 400mm F5.6, 1/640s at F8 at ISO640 on full Auto – I was having a bad day!
The Blackhawk helicopter flying over Tangalooma took me by surprise. I accidentally set the Canon 7D to my Custom Setting C3, which I is set up for macro photography. Those settings are 1/250 sec, F11 and ISO100, not really appropriate for shooting fast moving choppers with a 300mm lens! Managed to get a little rotor blur as a result.
The spider was from our back garden today. I cropped the “fangs” at the centre of the full frame and I can just see the pair of grappling claws at the tips.
Thanks for looking
Cheers
Dennis
