Darter sun bathing :D

[Abhishek Jamalabad]

Another one from Pirotan Island, Gujarat. This was photographed on the way back in the evening, from a moving launch.
Near full-frame, cropped of a narrow strip of sky from the top.

Camera Model Name Canon PowerShot SX10 IS
Shooting Mode Aperture-Priority AE
Tv (Shutter Speed) 1/320
Av (Aperture Value) 5.6
ISO Speed 100
Wish the angle wasn't so steep.

Thanks, c&c welcome.

Nice pose. Wish the head was turned slightly towards you. A higher aperture would have been good. Thanks for sharing.

[Abhishek Jamalabad]

Thanks Mrudul. Didn't have much time to compose this since the launch was moving at top speed :-(. Agree about the aperture, but I was worried it would bring down the shutter speed (and the sun was setting fast).

A nice image. Agree with Mrudul regarding the aperture. The setting sunlight looks good. Thanks for sharing.

The camera seems to have focused on the wings of the bird, a little PP may help here.

It is difficult to get the head and wings of this bird in focus, unless it is in the same plane as the wings.

Nice pose. TFS
