Rufous treepie

[Bhargava Srivari]

Image made near Rajbagh lake in Ranthambhore.

canon EOS 60D, canon 300 f/2.8 L IS II USM
f4, 1/100sec, ISO 320, EV 0, evaluative metering. Intentionally made the image at a low shutter speed as I was trying different shutter speeds at which I can handhold the new lens.

Joshi,

Thank you. This image is full-frame. In ranthambhore, these birds come close to people. In fact, I have images of treepies sitting on people's heads; will post them soon for record.

Cheers

Nice closeup. These birds have got used to humans and come close to gypsy's for food. Nice composition and background. Was any sharpening done, there seem to be some sharpening artifacts? Thanks for sharing.
