fiery plumage..

[Jim Manjooran]

..this brahminy kite appeared to be drying off...perched on the big mango tree at the far end of the property....and it was more of fluke that I saw this...when I just peeped out of a window of my house.. in passing........
..this is at a distance of over 20 meters from where I was....and in such situations..the Bridge Camera was best suited to record this...
Bridge cameras are not so much favored wild life photographers but in circumstances like this...where the distance cannot be crossed..the bridge camera is ideal...
...at least thats what I think......not sure if many agree with me.....
of course..the mega and very very expensive lenses would do better at this..I suppose.....
Sony hx200v (bridge), fixed lens, 1/160, focal length 144, f5.6 and no cropping.
