Large crop, record shot

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Keoladeo Ghana in Bharatpur.

This post is in response to one of the discussions where I had mentioned that even for small birds, if you are careful you can get a sharp image at slow shutter speeds.

This is a large crop with 41% cropped away and the resulting image is 59% of the original. I was on a rickshaw turned a bit and clicked. Due to lack of space I could not turn fully to compose as per my need. So just clicked it. In the original there is more space at the right. Will post the full frame image later for comparision.

Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, Canon EF 400mm f2.8 L IS USM, EF 2xII TC, ISO 200, f11, 1/125.


Cheers,

Patraji, very good details. The drying leaves add life.
