Something different from me.

Yesterday afternoon at the Entrance:

Nice capture Heath. Pelicans are such beautiful birds too. So graceful in flight - so awkward landing and taking off.

Terrific Heath. I spend a lot of time trying to get that perfect shot of these most graceful birds, you have done well.

Lovely shot there Heath - which lens mate?

That's a great capture Heath There are plenty of pelican photos araound but raely as good as this one

Well done!

Thanks all. Geoff- 70-200VR @ 200mm f/4 ISO:400 equiv.

EDIT - Shot at a reasonable size in frame, but ideally 300-400mm would have filled frame more completely. 200 f/2 would be nice, with 1.7 TC, but I don't really take this kind of shot much.

Hi Heath,

I love Bird photos. I wish some of my photos turned out as good as this one! Lovely detail and composition.

Cheers,
Suzanne

Ahhh Heath - tell them the truth.... your using your trusty Carl Zeiss 10-800 f1

Will you please shut-up about that James? No-one is supposed to know.

nice pose, looks like you pretty much nailed the exposure also.

what a wonderful photo heath you should be proud of this shot.
cheers pa

This has got to be one of the best pelican shots I have seen for a long time. Great to be able to capture the bird in flight and the water splashing on the right gives it that extra dimension. Nicely exposed, too.

Very, very nice....

Cheers
