Hello Shashank,

Welcome to IndiaWilds..!!

Nice flight pose captured. To capture birds in flight, a high shutter speed is required. You could have used a wider aperture like f7.1 or f8 with a higher shutter speed to get more details. Is this full frame? Which lens were you using? Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mrudul

I am using a 18 - 105mm lens. The bird was much closer to me. so I could capture it, else it would have been much difficult.

Hi Shashank,
Welcome to IndiaWilds!

Good to know that the bird was closer. Where did you click this? The shadow side of the birds face is towards you. Nevertheless, you can pull up the shadows and blacks, as the blacks have lost details. Normally people increased the contrast and forget that the blacks have lost details.

Cheers,
