Chukar

by Neil Rossmiller

Gallery: AvianPosted June 29, 2015322 views11 comments

Yes, the heat wave continues here in Northern Utah so I continue to play with winter scenes that cool off my senses just a little. Every bit helps. The difference in camera sensors between the 50D and the 7Dii has been more drastic than I once thought.

Canon 50D, Canon 400 2.8 w/ 1.4 ext. ISO 200. 1/800 @ f8. From vehicle window. PP LR4.

Thanks for looking and leaving an comments you care to share.

Very nice high key frame.  Details in the Chukar look great to me.

Really nice Neil. I particular like the hint of shadow under the bird as well as the vegetation on the right. They add a lot to the image.

Really cool high-key image Neil. I too think the small portion of included habitat adds to the overall feel of this photo. The colors pop very well. Nice work.

I like the slightly lifted foot and the snowy BG really make the colors fly off the page Neil. Nice work.

Excellent high key shot, Neil. The thin strandos of dead grass balance the shot niely.

Another "painterly" image, Neil-I think that has a lot to do with the plain white bg with just a hint of shadow.  It creates the feel of a Japanese print to me.  The little tuft of grass is a great touch here.
