White Rumped Shama (Male)

[Bibhav Behera]

This is a record shot in badly backlit conditions. However to see and hear this beauty is an exhillerating experience altogether. Truly the siren of the woods.

Canon 1000D, 300 f/4 + 1.4x
SS 1/80 (Manual Mode as even +2 EC underexposed the subject)
f/5.6
ISO 400

Good that you got the long tail in full..the bird looks beautiful. The bright BG is distracting, but there was nothing that you could do about it!

Nice eye contact. Agree the light and the background made it quite difficult to photograph. Thanks for sharing.

Wish you had better light. Where was this photographed? Better luck next time.

Cheers,
