13-JAN-2012 Vern Rogers (fotabug)

Spreading Its Wings (for me?)

Used a Kenko 1.4x teleconverter.
I thought the D3 did a great job of handling the harsh contrasts one has to deal with in direct sunlight. I was able to get nice detail in the shadow areas.

Nikon D3 ,AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR
1/1250s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso2800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Nice capture, I guess it was either drying or warming it's wings?
