Indian Roller

[Bibhav Behera]

This was shot last evening. The light was lovely. No alteration to image temperature. This is a substantial Crop. (Waiting for the day when I'd stop doing that :D )

Self Critique:
1. Wish the angle wasnt as steep.
2. Natural Perch would have been better.

Nikon d80 with 18-135 at 135mm
SS 1/250 (+1 EV)
F 6.3

Bibhav i can only say with wide ange lens you are doing a good job, once you get your zoom lens we stand very little chance to critique your images:)

In images clicked at a steep angle the eye is further away from the plane of focus. Indian Rollers can be found close and also in the ground picking up worms. Find such a tree and park yourself close by. You can get one in the ground. Using a hide is another approach. After a few days, they will come closer. Some more depth of field would have been better.
